War in Ukraine. Possible 17th EU sanction package on Russia

During the meeting, abroad ministers discussed the 17th package of sanctions on Russia. This issue has appeared in many statements.

Sikorski pointed out that The European Union has a ‘brake’ in the form of a Hungarian page. – We know that we have 1 country, Hungary, which does not have the moral clarity that we have thanks to specified Putin attacks. (Putin – ed.) speaks about peace, and bombards civilians, kills children," he explained.

The Polish minister then added: – Victim agrees to ceasefire., and he (Putin – ed.) either escalates conditions or escalates attacks. This gives us moral clarity, but it seems that not all countries follow specified principles.

Sikorski appealed to the Hungarian Government. It's about 2 vetoes.

At a gathering in Luxembourg, the head of Polish diplomacy called on his Hungarian counterpart to retreat the veto concerning Opening of Ukraine's accession negotiations with the European Union.

Budapest besides vetoed almost €7 billion from the European Peace Fund. These resources would have hit improving EU safety and defence.

– But it's like a pea against a wall. – commented on the behaviour of the Hungarian side of Sikorski.
