Hungary and Slovakia will seek a consultation procedure with Ukraine mediated by the European Commission after Kyiv placed Russian group LUKoil on a sanctions list, leading to a halt in deliveries, Hungary's foreign minister said in Brussels on July 22. "I spoke with the Ukrainian foreign minister yesterday, he said they allow every oil transfer through, but it's not true," Peter Szijjarto said. "The commission has three days to execute our request, after which we will bring the issue to court."
