The EU foreign ministers' meeting was held in Brussels on the 16th. Due to Hungary's opposition, the meeting failed to reach an agreement on the adoption of the sixth round of sanctions, including the oil embargo on Russia. At a press conference after the meeting, EU high representative for foreign and security policy Borrell said that the meeting on the same day could not reach an agreement on the final adoption of the sixth round of sanctions proposal, and the permanent representatives of Member States to the EU would continue to discuss it. The foreign ministers encountered the same difficulties when trying to reach an agreement on the oil ban. Borrell said Hungary's position was based on economic rather than political concerns. Lithuanian foreign minister ranzbergis, who attended the meeting, said that the EU's plan to impose an oil embargo on Russia was blocked by only one of the 27 EU Member States. EU foreign policy and other important issues are subject to the principle of unanimous adoption, and any member state has the right of veto. Borrelli also said that the EU will provide an additional 500 million euros to support Ukraine in the purchase of weapons, and the EU's military assistance to Ukraine has reached 2 billion euros. Hungary is highly dependent on Russian energy, with more than 60% of its oil and 85% of its natural gas coming from Russia. On May 4, the European Commission submitted a proposal for the sixth round of sanctions against Russia, including a comprehensive ban on the import of Russian oil by the end of this year. Hungary immediately expressed its opposition and expressed its hope to obtain large compensation from the EU to offset its loss of abandoning Russian oil. (Xinhua News Agency)
