Within the European Union, and particularly at the level of the European Council, the Greek government is promoting the need for a shared support ‘toolbox’. It is a position Athens has repeated consistently in recent years, despite the fact that previous waves of inflation and energy pressure were not prevented. The appeal to European solidarity, while politically conventional, often functions as a transfer of responsibility from the national to the supranational level.
Particular emphasis has also been placed on the proposal, advanced in coordination with France, for a moratorium on attacks against energy infrastructure. While the initiative may carry diplomatic weight, it appears more as a political declaration than a measure likely to alter realities on the ground, where geopolitical outcomes are shaped primarily by military force rather than calls for restraint.
