Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has continued to block EU efforts to impose a total ban on Russian oil Gradually, as part of the sixth package of sanctions against Moscow after its military operation in Ukraine.
Earlier, Orban considered that the European Union’s desire to impose a ban on Russian oil imports Overrun is rejected, adding that Hungary agreed to the first five packages of sanctions, but made it clear from the start that there are "red streak" It is blocking energy.
The Hungarian position means thwarting the hoped-for consensus on the new package among the 27 member states of the Union.
Commenting on the Hungarian position, the Assistant Professor in international relations At the Russian Lobachevsky University, Amr El-Deeb said that what Budapest announced in rejecting the sixth sanctions package basically reflects a European position, but the EU countries cannot declare it explicitly as a result of American and British pressure.
Al-Deeb confirmed the continuation of this position, inferring that the countries of Eastern Europe whose economies are suffering will not succumb to these sanctions. Hungary is a country that depends entirely on Russian energy, and its economy cannot be compared to the economies of Western European countries, and it does not bear feelings of hostility to Russia.
Al-Deeb pointed out that Budapest’s relationship with Moscow has been very warm for a long time, in addition to the great economic cooperation between the two sides.
He pointed out that the sixth package of sanctions that Washington seeks to compel Europe to implement primarily harms the continent, which suffers from a shortage of food Power supplyStressing that there is another major crisis in Eastern Europe, which is that all of its countries do not have a budget surplus until they buy energy alternative to Russian energy.
Hence it is "veto" Al-Majri is appropriate to the real position of Europe, which cannot publicly stand in the face of America, according to El-Deeb.

In the estimation of Alexander Artamatov, a Russian researcher in foreign relations, Europe has failed miserably to put pressure on Russia economically, considering in turn that Hungary’s position represents most of Europe’s countries that cannot dispense with Russian energy sources.
And Artamatov indicated that the entire European bloc and Washington are now paying the tax obsession with unjustified sanctions, The European economy He suffers from those sanctions and this is what Hungary revealed to everyone.
In one of its justifications for rejecting the sixth package of sanctions, Hungary said to its partners in European Union Renewing its oil industry would cost it at least 770 million euros ($810 million), and that 550 million euros would be needed to repair its refineries to respond to the embargo and another 220 million euros to build a pipeline from Croatia.
