The EU's internal rift intensifies: the 21st round of sanctions against Russia forced to be "revised from scratch" due to opposition from multiple countries

Media: Internal contradictions prompt EU to revise its sanctions package against Russia

The European Commission may adjust certain provisions in the 21st round of sanctions against Russia to respond to demands raised by Greece. The reason is that these measures have already harmed the EU's own economic interests.

According to sources cited by Politico, Greece's opposition indicates that EU officials "are beginning to touch upon certain core interests."

Previously, the Financial Times reported that Greece opposed the implementation of new restrictions. Its concern stems from the proposed ban by the European Commission on transporting Russian liquefied natural gas, which would negatively impact the operations of Greek shipping company Dynagas.

Meanwhile, Germany and Portugal continue to insist on easing restrictions on imports of Russian fish; while France and Italy, as major tourist destinations, are unwilling to tighten visa regulations for Russian citizens.
