According to the newspaper, hundreds of millions of euros are being considered as a possible concession to Hungary to speed up the withdrawal of Russian energy resources.
The proposal for an oil embargo "may not find support among all 27 EU member states," according to a material cited by InoTV.
The ambassador of one of the EU countries, who wished to remain anonymous, noted that his country feels "political and moral pressure to impose sanctions."
Earlier, the Budapest political science center Szazadveg Alapitvany published the findings of the survey, from which it follows that the majority of Hungarian citizens do not support the ban on Russian energy supplies and believe that anti-Russian sanctions harm the European Union itself.
