The European Union has put forward a new proposal for sanctions against Russia – to ban the import of marine oil, but not to impose an embargo on the main oil pipeline Druzhba. Thus, they hope to please Hungary and encourage the bloc countries to finally support the sixth package of restrictions. Huge volumes of crude oil are supplied to Hungary through the Druzhba, so it can be excluded from the list of sanctions. Then the countries will have six months to give up Russian sea oil and eight months to end oil products from Russia. Such concessions will give Hungary more time to find a technical solution for energy security. Slovakia and the Czech Republic will also look for alternatives during this period
