Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban opposed the inclusion of church leaders in the list of sanctions.
In addition, he said that the idea of a ban on the import of Russian oil to the EU will also not receive support from the Hungarian authorities.
The head of the Hungarian government announced this on the air of Kossuth Radio, reports HIRadio.
“We do not support the inclusion of church leaders on the list of sanctions,” Orban said.
In addition, the Hungarian prime minister criticized the European Commission for its proposal to limit Russian gas imports within the sixth package of sanctions.
Earlier it became known that the European Commission proposed to freeze the assets of Patriarch Kirill, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church. In addition, it became known that the ambassadors of the European Union could not agree on the introduction of the sixth package of sanctions against Russia through several countries, in particular Hungary.
