Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras flies to Russia as talks with Brussels drag on
Posted on 02:36 by nice news
The Prmie Minister of Greece will fly into Moscow today for talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin amid ongoing concern that the Mediterranean country will run out of money this month.
Alexis Tsipras' meeting had originally been scheduled for May, but has been brought forward, raising suspicions that Greece plans to gain funding from Russia or to use relations with the country as a bargaining chip with its Eurozone partners during bailout negotiations.
Athens is currently locked in talks with its creditors as it seeks to have reforms approved in return for a further €7.2bn (£5.3bn) portion of its bailout loan.
“While no member of the government admits to it publicly, the fostering of better relations with Russia is seen as a potential negotiating tool in relations between Greece and its lenders,” said an analyst from Greek think tank Macropolis.
