EU prepares sanctions against Russian oil through Druzhba: what will happen to Hungary and Slovakia

According to inkorr.com: The European Union is actively working on implementing trade measures against Russian oil imported through the 'Druzhba' pipeline. This initiative is only implemented if Hungary and Slovakia refuse Russian energy resources.

'Budapest and Bratislava are still not ready to abandon Moscow oil due to fears about energy security,'

Their concerns about energy security are holding these countries back, complicating the process of introducing new sanctions in the EU. The European Commission is also exploring the possibility of banning gas imports and imposing restrictions on tankers cooperating with Russia to exert pressure on Hungary and Slovakia.

'Europe must stop buying Russian energy resources,'

Donald Trump also insists on a complete rejection of Russian supplies, and most EU countries have already taken such measures. However, Hungary and Slovakia remain examples of 'rebellious'.

The G7 countries are reviewing the possibility of imposing 100% tariffs on imports from China and India to limit the circulation of Russian oil. Although this may face resistance in some countries, the initiative targets key oil companies and transport networks in Russia.

Thus, the European Union is trying to find ways to reduce its countries' reliance on Russian energy resources. The refusal of Hungary and Slovakia could become an important step in implementing European energy policy, however their hesitation poses a threat to the success of the entire plan. The consideration of tariffs on imports from other countries also indicates the seriousness of the EU's intentions to reduce Russia's influence on the global energy market.
