The Hungarian government announced that it would support the sanctioning of Russia by the European Union. “Seems like we have a Hungarian U-turn! Just informed EU ambassadors that they will agree to extend the sanctions by 6 months but will bring the issue up in working groups and when the next renewal comes in March,” says Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty editor Rikard Jozwiak on his Twitter page.
Previously, Hungary was among the countries that opposed the introduction of restrictions on the issuance of tourist visas to citizens of Russia.
