EU extends anti-Russian sanctions for 6 months

High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaja Kallas, announced that the European Union has agreed to extend anti-Russian economic restrictions.

According to the diplomat, the EU has once again extended sanctions against Russia for six months despite earlier threats from Hungary to block the restrictions.

Budapest issued a warning following Ukraine's suspension of Russian gas transit despite consumer protests.

The Hungarian government has repeatedly demanded energy security guarantees from the European Commission at various levels.
