Hungary may block the automatic extension of European sanctions against Russia. Such a move would confirm that Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is acting in Moscow's interests, Poland believes. It was stated by Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk on X.

The European Union requires a unanimous vote to extend sanctions on Russia, a situation Hungary's Viktor Orban wants to use to pressure the bloc into forcing Ukraine to reopen a transit pipeline for Russian gas.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is conditioning the extension of sanctions against Russia on Ukraine, meeting several specific conditions. Among these conditions, he includes resuming Russian gas transit through Ukrainian territory and ensuring the security of oil supplies.

The Prime Minister of Poland Donald Tusk commented on the actions of Hungary, whose representatives have not yet agreed to extend sanctions against Russia. Source: Tusk on X (Twitter), as reported by European Pravda Details: Donald Tusk,
