He cites two legal documents that ties Brussels hands:
1. Association Agreement with Ukraine, Article 276 - picrel #1
For this specific situation: Ukraine can't block the flow of Russian oil.

2. Council Regulation (EU) 2022/879 of 3 June 2022
Croatia must allow the transfer Russian "seaborne crude oil" via the Adria/Janaf pipeline to us.

What we can do, beyond petitioning Brussels:
- stop the diesel export towards Ukraine, this is about the 10% of Ukraine's diesel usage
- block €90 billion relief
- 40% of gas and electricity import of Ukraine comes from Hungary, 3 billion cubic meter's of gas (supplies about 3 million households), and 2 TWh (terawatt-hour) electricity (supplies about 1 million households)

We stopped the diesel export. What Ukraine buys from us is refined from the Russian crude.
We block the €90 billion until either Croatia lets the Russian oil in, or Ukraine restarts the transport.
