Details

At the same time,  Hungary opposed this proposal, and the sanctions require the unanimity of the 27 EU member states.   

If the package of sanctions does not meet the goal, we are ready to act independently

- stated Ebba Bush.

The Swedish official did not explain exactly how the government will target energy imports from Russia. In Bloomberg stressed that generally accepted rules require countries to take into account the energy security of the European Union.

The goal of this whole war on the part of Russia is "divide and rule". But Sweden won't wait if we don't succeed with the 14th package of sanctions

- - stated by the Swedish Minister of energy

Addition 

The publication noted that Russian gas imports to Sweden are small, but this determination indicates the growing impatience of member states for constant obstacles from Hungary in the issue of assistance to Ukraine.
