Hungary informed the EU ambassadors that it will agree to extend the sanctions against the Russian Federation for 6 months, although it previously demanded the lifting of sanctions against three Russian oligarchs, namely the removal from the list of those subject to the visa ban and whose assets are frozen. This was reported by Radio Svoboda journalist Rikard Jozvyak on Twitter .

“It seems that we have a Hungarian reversal! Hungary has just informed the EU ambassadors that they will agree to extend the sanctions for 6 months, but will raise this issue in the working groups when the next extension is in March,” Jozviak said.
Addition
We are talking about the restrictions imposed on more than a thousand people since the beginning of the Russian military invasion of Ukraine at the end of February.
As Radio Svoboda learned from several diplomatic sources familiar with the situation, as early as September 6, Budapest insisted on removing Alisher Usmanov, Petr Aven and Viktor Rashnikov from the list of sanctions.
