🧵 Greek firms made 1600 trips from Russia, on ships with 136 million DWT (35% of total) since #Ukraine invasion started.

A month after EU sanctions intro’d on 5 December, 🇬🇷 ships still dominate #fossilfuel exports. But who are behind these often little-known tanker companies?
TMS Tankers is controlled by billionaire art donor George Economou. He has a gallery named after him at London’s Tate Modern, and is a supporter of many global #art institutions 🖼

His firm conducted 11 voyages on ships with more than 1 million DWT in the month after 5 December.
The Andreas Martinos-led Minerva Marine, meanwhile, embarked on 13 trips from #Russia with 1.2 million DWT ship capacity during the period.

Other high-profile Greek shippers include a trio who also control major media outlets in the country – all highly critical of the invasion.

🧵 December #sanctions targeting Russian fossil fuels ban #EU vessels, insurers & others from facilitating 🇷🇺 crude #oil trades internationally - unless purchased within a #pricecap set by the west.
The west has “hamstrung its plan’s chances of success”, some analysts say, pointing to the absence of major buyers China, India and Turkey in the price cap. Another flaw is that the price cap – set at $60 per barrel – is above the average price for Russian crude 📈
With exports now price-capped for global buyers 🛢️, traders have to prove purchases are #legal: The system is “unenforceable” and “allows European companies to facilitate a trade that is funding the war in Ukraine,” @Global_Witness say.

Europe is on the way to become a military power, but so far mostly to the benefit of arms producers and with little democratic control.

Our first investigation of 2022 explored the 🇪🇺 #military complex, and included revelations of arms sales to #Russia: investigate-europe.eu/en/2022/milita…
Europe is stuck in a toxic relationship.

Our June investigation laid bare Europe's deep-rooted problem with #pesticides and how it is leading to a growing #biodiversity crisis across the continent:

#Thread: Νέο κείμενο από την #crossborder έρευνα των @investigate_eu & #ReportersUnited: Πώς 🇪🇺 ασφαλιστικοί οργανισμοί έχουν εξασφαλίσει το 90% των εξαγωγών 🇷🇺 καυσίμων από την έναρξη του πολέμου στην 🇺🇦.

2️⃣ Οι 🇪🇺 χώρες ήθελαν να απαγορεύσουν στους 🇪🇺 οργανισμούς την ασφάλιση μεταφορών πετρελαίου από τη 🇷🇺.

❗Όμως το πλήρες εμπάργκο δεν έχει υιοθετηθεί & οι 🇪🇺 εταιρείες εκτιμάται ότι θα συνεχίσουν να ασφαλίζουν το 50% των εξαγωγών 🇷🇺 πετρελαίου.

investigate-europe.eu/en/2022/eu-san…
3️⃣ Το εμπάργκο στην ασφάλιση 🇷🇺 καυσίμων στοχεύει στη μείωση των εσόδων της Μόσχας εν μέσω πολέμου.

❗Όμως αν η 🇷🇺 μειώσει την παραγωγή πετρελαίου, η τιμή του μπορεί να εκτοξευθεί ακόμα και στα 380$ το βαρέλι, σπάζοντας το ρεκόρ των 147$ το βαρέλι (2008).
