Thank you, daniel. thank you. well, the european union is proposing a ban on russian oil imports. we broke that story yesterday, but may find it tricky, in fact, to implement it. it s part of the six package of sanctions on moscow for its war on ukraine. the czech republic and bulgaria are seeking xem moneys from the ban while slovakia and hungary say they need a three-year transition period. here s more from hungary s foreign minister. translator: it is not a matter of lack of political will or a question about intention or time. this is simply a physical, geographical, and in infrastructural reality. while the european commission president says the ban on russian oil is the next step to make vladimir putin, quote, pay a high price for his brutal aggression on ukraine. and i ll have much more from lviv next hour. in the meantime, back to kim in atlanta.
