European Union efforts to impose an embargo on Russian oil face more roadblocks as Hungarian officials said they would not back the plan in its current form and recommended removing the topic from the agenda of an EU leaders summit next week.

The EU has worked to forge a consensus among its 27 member nations for cutting off Russian oil by the end of 2022 to block a key source of revenue financing Russia’s war in Ukraine.
