Budapest is again preventing the European Union from imposing restrictions against the aggressor country.

Hungary at a meeting of permanent representatives of EU countries expressed disagreement with the planned new package of anti-Russian sanctions. The Financial Times reported this on Thursday, December 8, citing sources.

“At yesterday’s meeting of EU permanent representatives, Hungary, which on Tuesday vetoed an 18 billion euro aid package to Ukraine, also spoke against a new package of sanctions against Russia,” said of the media.

Decisions on such sanctions in the EU are taken unanimously, in relation to which any country can, if desired, block such initiatives, the newspaper added.

The Hungarian side also opposed “a proposal to double EU funds to provide weapons to Ukraine and other countries,” the newspaper added.

European diplomats note that Hungary’s actions “are becoming somewhat predictable.” They believe that Budapest may continue to block many key EU decisions that would require unanimous approval.

Note that the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, proposed to introduce the next – ninth – package of sanctions against Russia, which should include a ban on transactions with three Russian banks and other measures.

The EU’s executive body is proposing to include around 200 more individuals and legal entities on sanctions lists as part of a new package of measures.

In addition, the European Commission proposes to introduce new measures in the economic field, in particular, aimed at the energy and mining sectors of Russia.

As previously reported, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said that Budapest is not against financial support for Ukraine, although it has blocked the EU’s macro-financial aid for Ukraine.

We are talking about blocking the 18 billion euros allocated by the EU to Ukraine for 2023.
