The Greek government's cautious stance on controlling Russian 'ghost fleet' tankers frustrates Brussels and Paris amid EU efforts to counter sanctions evasion.
Several European chancelleries express irritation over the Greek government's cautious approach to conducting controls against the Russian 'ghost fleet' of tankers. This sentiment frustrates Brussels and Paris as Greece shows reluctance to take stronger action. The ghost fleet involves Russian-flagged oil tankers circumventing sanctions, and the European Union is pressuring states to counter these vessels. Greek authorities, led by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, appear hesitant or slow in enforcing measures against such tankers. This reluctance affects EU-wide efforts to clamp down on Russian oil smuggling via shadow fleets, including entities like Dynacom Tankers Management Ltd and others suspected of facilitating these operations.
Confidence: High
The signal describes a states' reluctance to enforce controls and is about political and economic pressure responses rather than direct aggression or hybrid warfare attacks. It concerns defense preparation and enforcement challenges regarding economic sanctions.
