The embargo on purchases of Russian oil offered by the European Commission (EC) suggests Hungary being hit harder than the Russian Federation, Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs Peter Szijjarto said in an interview published by Spain’s El Pais newspaper on Thursday, TASS reports.
"This proposal would hit us much harder than the Russians," he noted. "Hungary has no access to the sea, and <...> we depend on Russian oil and gas," the minister said, adding that "this EC’s proposal creates a huge problem" for the country.
