On Tuesday, the EU will consider a new package of sanctions against Russia due to the situation around Ukraine, said the head of European diplomacy, Josep Borrell.
“Today we intend to approve a new package of sanctions, but we are still discussing what to do with energy,” Borrell said on Tuesday in an interview with Spanish radio station COPE.
According to him, in particular, there is no unanimity in the EU on the problem of refusing Russian gas. “It is not possible to make a unanimous decision, because there is such a country – Hungary, which has announced that it will veto it,” Borrell said.
“It’s easy to give up what you don’t have, but it’s very difficult for countries that are seriously dependent on Russian gas supplies,” he added.
