Oil terminal in Novorossiysk. File photoWASHINGTON, May 20. Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijarto said that Budapest proposed to the European Union to impose an embargo on offshore supplies of Russian oil to replace land-based ones so that the economies of the countries of the community continue to function normally.»If the EU… wants to punish Russia in the oil issue, then it is necessary to impose an embargo on seaborne oil supplies, because they make up the largest share of Russian oil supplies to Europe, while pipeline supplies are a minority,» Sijarto said in an interview with Fox News. According to the minister If the countries of the European Union decide to make an exception in the issue of sanctions for supplies through pipelines, then the economies of the countries of the community «will continue to work.» «Besides, then the EU will achieve its goal,» the head of the Hungarian Foreign Ministry emphasized.
