Then let’s work with Greece and figure this out Get the finest mine city USA has manipulated scheme if necessary we’re not using that term manipulating the negative context sometimes you have to defeat evil with a little bit of lesser evil now figure it out and slap sanctions on grease

Greeks are like Africans.

😂 Ukrainians don't wake up to coffee.
Ukraine has been sabotaging its own country, all of those Ukrainian rockets raining down this morning was a beautiful sight.

Graeca fides nulla fides

That's a pretty Swiss flag on that "Greek" ship 😊😋

pu tain’s & xithole’s eunuchs in a sealed tofu virus cave o gulags to count gutter oil fo glueing its incompetence with bandits

Question: Nothing new here.Russia is doing what western nations have been doing.when USA and NATO allies were stealing oil from syria and iraq,where were you? Why not investigate france atrosities in Africa too.

EU is Hypocritical

This just infuriates me as some of the comments do! I live in Greece and find it unconscionable that there are people who think it’s just fine to feed the Russian bear while he invades, murders & tortures Ukrainians! I will gladly be cold this winter if it means punishing that maniac and cutting his country off from the rest of the world! And, btw, I don’t live in the south but up north in the mountains where we get harsh winters so don’t think I’m saying this because I won’t be cold! I will be and will make it through the winter. Just think of what Ukrainians are suffering through with their homes bombed! I am ashamed of Greece for doing what they have been doing throughout their modern history – cheating! And THAT’S WHY GREECE IS A POOR COUNTRY, they allow their politicians to rape their country and get away with cheating. 😡😡😡😡😡🤞🏻

Disgraceful they’re filling Vladimir Putin’s pockets

GREEKS MAYBE THE PROBLEM ?

They should have hire pirates to steal Russian oil. Now is the time for Somali pirates to rob them.

It does increase the costs to the Russians. So there is that.

And yet we pay 2 euros per liter of gasoline in greece…

I imagine the same would apply to the German shipowners who do exactly the same.
What? it's not like this ??
But you didn't say a word about them……fantastic journalism…..

01:29 Greek ships name: "Ottoman Integrity" :))

This is poor journalism with a demagogic twist,
1. Keep using the term "Greek ship owners" without considering a) where the ship is registered (aka, the law of the country), b) where the company is registered. If at least is out of EU (not just Greece) and the transaction / exchange is taking place in the international water (aka for Aegean Sea 6+ miles from the coast) the greek state CANT do anything.
2. Another key point is destination. We see the exchange but no documentation about the destination or even more important if the there is falsification of papers around the origin of the oil after this exchange <– the later would have been real journalisme, investigation and very risky as it is highly illegal.

More over, EU states are still receiving oil from Russia although less and less, thus until there is a full ban this isn't illegal (something the commentator mentioned).

Also where is the supported documentation about which companies, ships etc are part of this… This feels like another article of DW pointing the finger to Greece/Greeks.

This is sad

You are talking about oil . Tell us about greek mercenaries that fought in crimea against ukrainians at 2014 and still now are fighting toghether with russian orcs

Sanctions require lot of regular tracking..if they were real,Iran wouldn't have survive till date..lot of backend business takes place n we innocently praise leaders

You will all change your minds about sanctions when the winter comes.

I find it interesting that I can sense a genetic similarity of nationality between individuals….

Greek here: Utterly disappointed, yet again, not in my people, but the ones at the top.

The hypocritical oil business Transactions by greece makes EU & US Economic embargo to Russia due to its Communist officials evil attack on Ukraine less effective? It seems business moral ethics is forgotten when greed set into the heart of business owners. They are warned by the word of God in Matthew 16:26 & Luke 12:15-21 & 2 Timothy 3:1-5 & Mark 9:42-50 & Revelation 21:8.

Nothing will happen …Ukraine is Russians Iraq…the war beast has to be fed.

i recon an enterprising pirate could make a killing of putins boys here

Good job Greeks
These NATO allies of them are nowhere when Turkey bully Greece on daily basis

In Africa we have no problem with Russia. Shame on all those who want to control the world.

Need to recruit some Somali pirates.

EU is just choreographing this drama, everyone knows they are hypocrites.

Bandits pirats looters mafia

Greek shipping is country's no1 industry.. This is like asking German factories to stop producing cars or machines

Keeping eyes on the wrong thing, so what if they transported gas, there’s no crime here but yet you guys make a problem, should have be looking out for real criminals like those that blow up the North stream pipe line,😂 can’t say you guys are very good or useful in looking for criminals, no wonder there’s so much chaos in society.

The Greeks again…

Moscow is entitled to sell its oil to whoever needs it, Americans and NATO bombed and invaded sovereign countries, and the world was silent and they have been left not to account, in the name of national security and terrorism. Russia too has a right to its national security and by invading Ukraine, this right was being threated by NATO expansion. Who on this earth does not know this?

At least the Russians are selling oil to finance their war effort,how about the americans?looting and robbing Syrian oil and grains in broad daylight,are you aware of that DWtv?or are you just nothing but an american lapdog..

russia is brave country

I supposed it would be a shame if these ships ran across chains suspended underwater that tangled the ships propellers and broke them.

Time to blow up Greece too.

In old british vocabulary check out the meaning of greek. It means THIEF. The reason is that in greek culture stealing without getting caught is considered something skillful and thieves are respected in the society.

It's easy for western European countries to dictate which oil to buy, while the rest of eastern Europe struggles to find any source of energy to run their economy.

Was the war in Iraq or Libya good?

United States will Put your economy in dispute while they are buying their rocket 🚀 engine 🚂

What a shame
