Ursula von der Leyen called the topic of Russia’s oil ban “too technical” and “inappropriate” for discussion at the European Council.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has decided not to reach a pan-European agreement to ban Russia’s oil imports at an EU Council summit next week. He told Politico on the sideline of the World Economic Forum in Davos.

The EC leader said he did not want to create “false expectations.”

“I don’t think this is the right topic for discussion in the European Council because it’s too technical. We’re talking about landlocked countries that need alternative supplies through pipelines,” von der Leyen said. .

He added that the embargo issue included discussions on investment in pipelines, refineries and renewable energy.

The publication stressed that the comments of the President of the European Commission were made against the background of the statement of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban that he did not intend to discuss Russia’s sanctions at the summit on May 30-31.

It was previously reported that the EU oil embargo requires the consent of all 27 states, so the European Commission is in talks with the Hungarian government on an investment program that will help reduce the country’s reliance on hydrocarbons. Russia.
