BUDAPEST (Reuters) – The EU’s proposed new sanctions including an oil embargo against Russia should not be discussed at next week’s summit of EU leaders, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban wrote to the President of the European Council in a letter.
In the letter, dated May 23rd and obtained by Reuters, Orban said it was unlikely a solution could be found by then, and that Hungary was not in a position to agree to the proposed EU sanctions until all outstanding issues are resolved.
