Loading ...ST. PETERSBURG, Russia (AP) — A top Russian official won’t say whether his country is going to lend money to Greece, ahead of a meeting between the Greek and Russian leaders on Friday.
Greece is at an impasse in talks with its creditors to get more loans. Without the aid, it could default on a debt repayment of 1.6 billion euros ($1.8 billion) on June 30.
While his government is locked in those talks, Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras is traveling to Russia, his second visit since April, to meet President Vladimir Putin. Tsipras’ visit has given rise to speculation that the Greeks could be seeking Russian loans.
