Hungary opposes the sixth package of anti-Russian sanctions imposed by the European Union, which also includes an oil embargo on Russian oil. iDNES writes about this.
Unlike other European countries that fully support the refusal to import Russian fuel, Hungary has been taking a peculiar position since the beginning of a special military operation in Ukraine.
Relations between the Hungarian and Russian governments were growing stronger, especially in the field of energy. The most high-profile was the Paksh-2 NPP project, which was entrusted to Rosatom. Despite the current situation, the money continued to be allocated on the basis of the contract.
In addition, Hungary has signed a lucrative 15-year contract for the supply of Russian gas, on which the country depends for 95%. Moreover, oil, which has become the most important topic for the European Union, Hungary provides itself with it by 58%., which is the largest indicator in the EU.
