EU adds new sanctions against Russia with Greek LNG shipping carve-out

The European Union has imposed fresh sanctions on Russia, targeting various sectors to pressure the Kremlin over ongoing geopolitical conflicts. However, in a notable exception, Greece has been granted a carve-out to continue shipping liquefied natural gas from Russia to other nations, reflecting the country's critical reliance on Russian energy supplies. This move highlights the complex balance the EU must maintain between enforcing sanctions and addressing member states' energy security concerns, especially as global energy markets remain highly sensitive. This decision underscores the intricate dynamics at play within the EU's approach to dealing with Russia.
