The adoption of the sixth package of EU sanctions against Russia has been delayed due to individual countries becoming more dependent on Russia’s oil supplies.
European Parliament Vice-President Katarina Barly has called for a decision on the planned EU oil embargo against Russia without Hungary’s involvement. About this on Saturday, May 21, DW wrote.
According to Barley, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is “leading the EU by the nose.” He considered Budapest’s request for billions in aid “almost rude”, because “everyone knows where the money will go.”
Burley accused Orbán of making sure the money flowed to his “family and clans,” he said, adding that Hungary has a “blatantly corrupt system.”
The adoption of the sixth package of EU sanctions against the Russian Federation has been delayed due to individual countries becoming more dependent on Russia’s oil supplies. The EU offered to give them a delay in finding new suppliers of raw materials: Prague could start an embargo from July 2024, and Budapest and Bratislava from 2025.
However, for Hungary, this measure does not seem to be profitable enough. Budapest is asking for 15-18 billion euros from the European Union for Russia’s oil supply.
Hungary blocked an EU proposal to ban Russia’s oil imports. Later, information emerged that Russia’s oil transportation ban was no longer included in the sixth package of EU sanctions.
Russia has been able to avoid the devastating impact of Western sanctions imposed after the start of the invasion of Ukraine, thanks to rising prices for exported oil and gas.
