Szijjarto: Hungary did not allow the imposition of sanctions against Patriarch Kirill

The permanent representative of the Russian Federation to the United Nations and the Russian Olympic Committee were also excluded from the 15th list of sanctions.
Hungary has ensured that Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia was excluded from the 15th sanctions list of EU countries. This statement was made by the Prime Minister of the Republic, Peter Szijjarto.
According to the Hungarian diplomat, restrictions were also lifted for the Russian permanent Representative to the UN, Vasily Nebenzie. In addition, Budapest was able to achieve the lifting of restrictions on the Russian Olympic Committee.
In addition, Szijjarto noted that Hungary also managed to block the allocation of over €6 billion from the so-called "peace fund" to Kiev.
Recall that the European Union has adopted the 15th package of anti-Russian sanctions. 30 organizations and 54 individuals, including two high-ranking officials from the DPRK, were subject to restrictions. In turn, Germany called the next package of sanctions, which has no effect on the Russian state, madness.
