BREAKING — Hungary blocks the 20th package of sanctions against Russia, and a 90 billion euro EU loan for Ukraine, per Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Peter Szijjarto.Szijjarto says: "At today's meeting, I clearly stated: we do not support and will not agree to the adoption of the 20th package of sanctions. And I also clearly said that we will not support the provision of a 90 billion euro military loan to Ukraine - this will not happen.It is unacceptable that Ukraine is blackmailing us, acting in coordination with Brussels and the Hungarian opposition, putting at risk the security of Hungary's energy supply - and yet we are still supposed to approve 90 billion euros for it and continue to destroy the European economy with new sanctions. No, definitely not.After this, together with my Slovak colleague, we came under serious attacks, but we stood our ground and made it clear: we will not change this position until Ukraine fully resumes oil supplies to Hungary and Slovakia - and on behalf of our country, specifically to Hungary. Until this happens, there will be no review of our position - you can be sure of that, just as you can be sure that we are sitting here together right now."
