This doesn't look good:

EU considers shelving ban on Russian oil as Hungary blocks sanctions

Quote:
One idea circulating in Brussels would see other elements of the EU's sixth package of Russia sanctions move ahead, with the support of all 27 member countries. But the complete ban on all imports of Russian crude and refined fuels could be put aside for now, while work continues on a compromise deal that Hungary can accept, EU diplomats told POLITICO.

Such a delay would be a major setback for the EU's efforts to counter Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine. In particular, it would be a blow to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who proposed the total prohibition of all imports of Russian oil in a draft sixth sanctions package on May 4.
