ANKARA, April 19. /TASS/. Hungary does not plan to support sanctions against oil and gas supplies from Russia, Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Peter Szijjarto told a press conference following the talks with his Turkish counterpart Mevlut Cavusoglu in Ankara on Tuesday.

"We will not support sanctions against Russian oil and gas. Russian gas is supplied to Hungary without interruption," he was quoted as saying by the TRT TV channel.

Szijjarto said earlier this month that Hungary opposed an embargo on energy supplies from Russia.

The fifth sanction package of the European Union effective since April 8 expanded the ban for the European business on supplies of oil refining and liquefied natural gas (LNG) production technologies to Russia, according to the Resolution of the EU Council on the new package of sanctions and annexes to the decision. The EU does not authorize its companies to supply gas cooling and liquefaction equipment, equipment for hydrocarbons fractionation in LNG production and oil refining process and the broad range of chemical equipment for different oil refining phases to Russia, according to the annex to the resolution.

The EU introduced restrictions for deliveries of equipment and technologies for oil and gas production to Russia in July 2014 for the first time and has expanded wordings and the list of equipment banned for supplies since then.
