A cross-party group of members of the European Parliament has penned a joint letter urging Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis to take "all necessary measures" to block new sales of Greek-owned vessels to Russia, warning these transactions are helping the Kremlin sustain its shadow fleet and bypass the G7 price cap on oil.
The MEPs also demand further measures to curb ship-to-ship transfers, a technique used to conceal the provenance of the merchandise, and to discourage Greek companies from transporting Russian oil.
