Donald Tusk, whose country is now presiding in the EU Council, said that the actions of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban on sanctions against Russia are similar to the game for the Kremlin team. "If Orban really locks European sanctions in a key moment, it will become clear that in this big game for the safety and future of Europe he plays Putin's team, not in ours. With all the consequences arising from this fact," - The head of the Poland government emphasized.
On January 24, Hungarian representatives did not agree to make a decision to continue the sanctions of the European Union against Russia. The decision to continue sanctions against the Russian Federation for the next six months will be made on January 27 at a meeting of the EU foreign ministers. For his part, Orban accused Ukraine of an attempt to deceive the Hungarians when it comes to gas supply, and urged the EU to force Ukrainians to "open valves".
However, on January 22, the European Diplomacy Head of European Diplomacy expressed "some optimism" that EU sanctions against Russia will be extended before their validity expires. "I see no reason to weaken or cancel sanctions now," she said. In December 2024 it became known that the EU approved a 15 package of sanctions against the Russian Federation.
