We must stop it
Representatives of the sovereign power in Ukraine more and more often express respect for the great need to block the Navy for the transportation of Russian oil. As oil itself is one of the key sources of finance for the Russian war against the world.
Let's look at the oil embargo imposed by our North American and European partners.

How do Greek shipowners replenish Russia's budget despite sanctions?
What you can do
Ukraine is fighting for a democratic world. Help the forces of good to defeat the darkness.
The EU authorities once saved Greece from default. And today Greece is saving russia from the EU sanctions.
You can call on the parliamentarians of the EU countries to pay attention and influence those who help the aggressor country.
Which side are you on, Greek marine companies?

Furthermore, it is important to note that there are structures without which the transfer of oil by sea would be impossible or financially unprofitable:
- IGP&I Clubs (insurance institution);
- IACS (certification institution).
Ask in person how long they will serve those who sponsor the war?
