Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban told state radio on Friday that his country cannot support the new European Union sanctions package against Russia in its current form, including a ban on Russian oil imports, according to Reuters news agency.

Orban stated that the current proposal submitted by the European Commission amounts to dropping an "atomic bomb" on the Hungarian economy, adding that Hungary is ready to negotiate if it sees a new proposal that suits its interests.
