fact agreed in principle, a political agreement to ben, at least 2 thirds of russian oil imports to the european union by the end of the year. now there is still some discrepancy in the figures. we're hearing european commission president ursula lucille of underlying is saying this is 90 percent. and that's because you've got about 2 thirds of the oil coming into the european union by seaborne means, and that is what it has been agreed to stop. now, by the end of the year, you have another one 3rd coming by pipeline. and there have been some disagreements over how quickly that can be shut off. but in fact, they are saying that indeed as quickly as possible, all russian oil imports will be completely band. so a lot of a proof in the pudding, so to speak, what has been the hold up in getting to this agreement? well, it's that pipeline portion, and that's because hungary gets all of its oil from russia via pipeline. and it,
6:05 am
it was simply unwilling to agree to this band until it was sure that it would have other means. and that's something that's still in the works. hungary is victor or bon says that not only is he not yet willing to agree to cut off russian oil imports because he doesn't have an alternative supplier. but even should he agree, he would, he would want to have a guarantee from the european union that if he couldn't get oil from russia via the pipeline that he would be able to, to take it in through these means that will now be banned in other words via the sea and that's something that you leaders had to work out tonight with victor or bon before they could come out and say that they have this agreement in principle. but in fact, it looks like that has been agreed. we have yet to see the legal text as well as some other exemptions from for example, for slovakia. but again, overall, the agreement is made that russian oil imports from the sea will be cut off and that they will return as soon as possible to cutting off the pipeline supplies as
6:06 am
well. is there any way to tell, given how much is unknown right now? what kind of impact this boycott is going to have on russia? well, e leaders are clearly hoping that not just this oil boycott, but also the fact that they've already phased out coal exports from russia to the european union. and that they are taking other measures like cutting off russian banks from the swift financial messaging services i'm a which, which really limits its ability to do business around the world. they're hoping that all these financial measures all these efforts to cut off rushes, rushes income, will if they can't change. vladimir, who's mind about the wisdom of waging war on ukraine, that they can at least cut off his ability to finance this ongoing war. and of course, that remains to be seen that it is the 6th round of sanctions. and the 1st 5 haven't had that a desired impact. so far, partials are corresponded there for us in brussels. thanks very much with that
