The question increasingly facing the EU is whether weak Russia sanctions are better than none. The signal from all the carveouts for Greek ships owners - over and over - mean the EU just doesn't get taken seriously as a foreign policy actor. That's fatal. robinjbrooks.substack.com/p/greek-olig...
Suniel K. Sharma has been sanctioned in the 21st sanctions package. @tomi-mcc.bsky.social and my article with Bellingcat on his organisation: www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/02...
