Greece blocks 21st EU sanctions package against Russia

Greece is blocking the 21st EU sanctions package against Russia due to a proposed ban on transporting Russian LNG to third countries, which would severely harm the Greek shipping company Dynagas, specializing in liquefied gas transportation along Arctic routes. Athens argues that the company's ice-class vessels are extremely difficult to reconfigure for other tasks. Meanwhile, other EU countries remind that all union members have already had to sacrifice parts of their businesses to exert pressure on Moscow.
