Reuters reporting comments from EU diplomats saying that the Foreign Affairs Council has agreed to another six-month rollover of sanctions on Russia. There had been some speculation that permission could be withheld from Hungary, and given the requirement for unanimity in sanctions the prospect of the deal being scuppered. 

  • Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto says that he has received guarantees from the European Commission regarding the protection of Hungary's energy supply that were said to be crucial to gaining Budapest's backing. BBG: "The statement will reaffirm commitments to help Ukraine repair and stabilize its infrastructure as well as address the supply of gas and oil.[...] The EU is already working in parallel on its next set of sanctions but officials are bracing for more resistance from Budapest. The bloc hopes to approve the measures next month."
