Germany is a major obstacle to tougher sanctions against Russia. This was stated by Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki on Monday during a press conference, at which he also clarified that Hungary does not block the continuation of restrictions on Moscow, according to Reuters.
“Germany is the main obstacle to sanctions,” the Polish leader said.
According to him, Budapest does not block the possibility of tightening sanctions against Russia. At the same time, Moravetsky stressed the need to respect the results of Sunday’s elections in Hungary, which were won by the Fidesz-NDP ruling coalition.
Earlier, European Council President Charles Michel said that the EU was preparing new sanctions against Russia. French President Emmanuel Macron has called for further tightening of restrictive measures.
