Greek shipping company Dynagas is about to be licensed to continue transporting liquefied natural gas (LNG) produced by Russia. The European Union (EU) is preparing to make concessions as part of the 21st sanctions package against Russia, according to TASS.
This agreement, which still needs to be ratified by 27 EU member states, will allow companies to continue transporting Russian LNG to third countries for 12 months with the possibility of extension, although the volume will be limited to the level of 2025.
European media reported that EU officials have run out of ideas for new measures included in the 21st package of sanctions against Russia, as such measures could harm member countries within the bloc.
Greece has also protested against new sanctions, as the European Commission's ban on transporting Russian LNG could affect transportation company Dynagas.
Meanwhile, Germany and Portugal are seeking exemptions from buying fish from Russia; France and Italy want to ease visa policies; and Austria once again requests the release of assets related to Raiffeisen bank.
