Greece looks to Russia as deal with Europe stumbles
2015-04-01
[BUSINESS-STANDARD] With the prospect of a default looming in Greece, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras is preparing to meet next week with President Vladimir V Putin of Russia as a European deal to give more aid to Athens falters.
The New York Daily News is more likely to pay off than Greece...
The timing has raised questions of whether the visit is an ordinary component of the new Greek government's multipronged foreign policy, or a pivot toward Russia for financial aid in the event that Greece's talks with European officials collapse.

Negotiations between the struggling Greek government and its creditors stumbled anew on Monday after European leaders said that a reform plan submitted over the weekend to unlock a fresh lifeline of euro 7.2 billion, or about $7.8 billion, fell short. Greece has warned that it may run out of money soon after Tsipras meets with Putin on April 8.

#3  I thought Putin was starting to hurt for cash now that oil prices dropped on him. I'd talk to the Chinese if I were Greece.

#1  This is only the beginning for Putin.When O turns his back on Israel they will do the same. The Saudi, Jordon then the others follow. Iran will be Putin's problem child in the area.
