It’ll be interesting to see if the EU finds a workaround here. If Greece manages to carve out an exception for their fleet, does that just create a massive loophole for Russian LNG to keep flowing through "neutral" channels? Seems like a fragile balancing act between economic survival and geopolitical goals.
