The  European Commission  of the European Union (EU) has indefinitely postponed the adoption of its 19th sanctions package against Russia, Politico reported on Tuesday, citing officials familiar with the decision, Politico reports.

The next sanctions package against Russia is no longer expected to be presented on Wednesday, an EU diplomat and a national official said.  

No details were given on when these sanctions would be unveiled.

The delay is due to the fact that the EU's focus has shifted from imposing new sanctions against Russia to putting pressure on Slovakia and Hungary to "cut their reliance on Russian oil."
