The diplomats of the EU countries on Sunday, the day before the EU summit, could not agree on the ban on the import of Russian oil, which is planned to include sanctions against Russia in a new, sixth package.
Reuters reports with reference to the EU official named after the EU official that negotiations on the oil embargo will continue tomorrow after the afternoon, before the start of the summit.
The rejection of Russian oil is opposed primarily by Hungary, which receives it through the pipeline. The Hungarian government says that in the event of an embargo, the country will incur multi -billion dollar losses.
According to the European press, now the EU countries are discussing the compromise proposal of France: to ban the import of Russian oil through seaports, but to leave imports on pipelines.
