Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Greek companies of helping the Russian Federation to transport oil by tankers.
He stated this during a speech at the annual government round table The Economist, quotes “Country”:
“Russia, by its game with gas, is doing everything so that inflation only unwinds, and so that Europe experiences the greatest crisis in history this winter. At the same time, at the same time, we see how Greek companies provide almost the largest tanker fleet for transporting Russian oil, while another Russian energy resource is being used as a weapon against Europe and against the family budget of every European.”
Greece and Germany made similar accusations back in May of this year. Die Welt wrote that Greece is helping Russia to circumvent sanctions and export oil by sea:
Tankers with Russian oil continue to freely enter European ports, despite the fact that many of them have been closed to the Russian Federation. Helps Russia in this Greece. While many European and American dealers, oil companies and shipping companies have cut off all contact with Russian fleet operators, Greek shipowners continue to expand their business in Russia.
