Supreme Representative of the European Union Jozep Borrel stated that at the EU level, it is hardly possible to impose a veto to import gas from Russia.
“There will be no unanimous decision, because there is already a country, Hungary, who said that the veto will impose. This is the economic and political decision of the leader, just won the election. Refuse that you do not have – easy, And countries that are strongly dependent, it is more difficult, “he said.
Borrel stressed that Western sanctions against Russia did not help prevent war.
“Sanctions should cost Russia expensive. And so that they become expensive, it is necessary to hook the energy. Every day we pay over one billion for Russian energy carriers, and this is the financing of war,” said the head of European diplomacy.
Borrel also stated that China will not help Russia leave sanctions.
“China told us that he was not going to help Russia in the military sphere, and is also not going to bypass the sanctions. Another thing is what he does, but not officially do it,” the EU representative said.
