"Greece Caught in the Middle: Athens Warns of Economic Consequences from Sanctions on Russian LNG" The Greek government is facing a delicate balancing act as it navigates the complex web of international sanctions on Russian liquefied natural gas (LNG). Athens is warning that imposing sanctions on Russian LNG would not only harm the country's economy but also disproportionately affect its shipping industry, which relies heavily on Russian trade. However, Greece is also deeply concerned about the growing threat of Moscow's hybrid warfare tactics, which have already been evident in the region.

Sanctions on Russian LNG would hurt Greek shipping, argues Athens, but it also fears Moscow’s hybrid warfare.
