[HIGHLIGHTS] Politico: the protest of Greece and Hungary prevents the EU from adopting a new package of sanctions against Russia

Greece and Hungary are demanding the exclusion of their companies from the list of "war sponsors" of Ukraine. This position caused tension at a meeting of EU foreign ministers at the beginning of the week.

The head of EU diplomacy, Josep Borrell, promised to deal with the problem and resolve disagreements over the "Ukrainian list", sources said. It is alleged that Hungary and Greece are using the sanctions package as political leverage to remove their firms from the "war sponsor" list.
