As for sovereignty in the EU and NATo you only have to look at this:

And then consider all the long list of the self-harm that the EU has been systematically committing over the past few years such as supporting needless hostilities with one of its biggest trading partners, cutting off and sanctioning its supply of cheap gas and buying it at 4x the price instead, destroying its own people with high interest rates, and now starting up a self-harming trade war with China.

All of that is because the EU institution is hijacked as a vehicle to function as. virtual military dictatorship. What you vote for in EU elections means nothing, became the commission, led an obvious asset of the pentagon, is NOT working on behalf of anyone in the EU at all.

On your point about the so-called "Green" parties in Europe and the UK, if you look closely those are basically sheep dogging vehicles not real parties.

An assessment of the worst of them, in Germany, now openly warmongers, shows that this small party was artificially boosted by backing from a a few ultrawealthy rich people who are not revolutionaries but rather members of this new dodge of faux-philanthropy while entrenching the neoliberal order: https://www.politico.eu/article/germany-election-small-party-big-money-fdp-greens/

If you look at the Green Party in Norway, their biggest funder is a Jean Ulltveit Moe Norwegian billionaire who is deeply right wing and committed to pollution for profit while decorating it with misdirections:

Am sure many other reviews would fine similar patterns.

The point of boosting these astroturfed "Green" parties, seems to have been to split up the middle and upper class liberals into a singe-issue vehicle and avoid them building long term alliances in the real left wing parties alongside working class people.
