Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Szijjarto said that Hungary’s vote to extend EU sanctions against Russia will depend on whether the EU keeps its promises by that time.

The EU promised to maintain discussions on this issue and to include Hungary and Slovakia in the process – both countries were hard by this latest escalation of the war.
