“It is more likely to have an agreement at the next summit in June,” he said.
At the same time, Scholz believes that an agreement on the oil embargo can be reached in any case.
In turn, the head of EU diplomacy, Josep Borrell, said before the summit that EU leaders could agree on a sixth package of sanctions against Russia today.
“It is important to talk about how we can get a final agreement on the sixth package of sanctions. I am confident that we will have an agreement. Yesterday and this morning there were Coreper meetings, we are pushing everyone to have agreement now. And I’m sure we’ll have this agreement, “he said.
Moreover, Borrell is “confident” that Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, the main opponent of Russia’s oil embargo, will support the agreement.
As reported, the EU summit on May 30-31 is supposed to approve new sanctions against Russia, which will impose an embargo on Russia’s oil supplies, except for pipelines.
The next EU summit will take place on June 25-26. It is planned to consider giving Ukraine the status of a candidate for EU membership.
