Hungary and Slovakia block EU sanctions package against Russia

Hungary and Slovakia have decided not to support the EU's plan for the 18th package of sanctions against Russia, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto announced on Monday.

Speaking at a press conference, Szijjarto stressed that Hungary and Slovakia decided to block the sanctions package in response to the European Union's plans to gradually cut off energy imports from Russia.

"We did this because the European Union ... wants to prevent member states, including Hungary and Slovakia, from buying cheap natural gas and oil from Russia, as they have done before," Szijjarto said.

Hungary and Slovakia continue to rely on Russian gas and oil supplies and have maintained warm relations with Moscow.

The European Commission on June 10 proposed a new round of sanctions against Russia over its invasion of Ukraine more than three years ago, targeting Moscow's revenues from energy, banking and the military industry.

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico reacted by saying that Slovakia will not support the sanctions package unless the European Commission offers a solution to the situation Slovakia faces if the EU bans Russian energy imports.

Unanimous agreement of all member states is needed to pass the sanctions proposal.

On Sunday evening, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban called on the EU to remove from the agenda the proposal to ban Russian energy imports, due to the expected increase in energy prices after the US bombing of Iran. / REL
