As part of sanctions against Russia, the European Union imposed a ban on the import of Russian oil, making exceptions for Hungary and Slovakia. This was announced at a briefing on Monday by Anna-Kaisa Itkonen, official representative of the European Commission, reports UNN.

This means that both Slovakia and Hungary can, within the framework of this exception, continue to import Russian oil

At the same time, she did not comment on the US decision to introduce exceptions to sanctions for Hungary so that it could continue to buy Russian oil.
