Hungary will block any EU’s sanctions-related decisions against Russia until Ukraine resumes oil transit through the Druzhba pipeline, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said following an emergency meeting of the country's Energy Security Council.
"We decided that until supplies via the Druzhba pipeline are resumed, we will not support any [EU] sanctions policy. Consequently, we will also reject the 20th sanctions package submitted to the EU for consideration. If oil supplies are resumed, we will return to the previous conditions," he said in a video address broadcast by the M1 TV channel.
