Greece distanced from the support sanctions against Russia, thus demonstrating that can be written to its historical ally for help, says CNBC. Yesterday's new Prime Minister of Greece Alexis Tsipras said that the message of the heads of EU member States on the possible introduction of new penalties was published without the consent of Athens. According to him, the European Council has not received the consent of Greece, did not follow the established procedure for the publication of the communiqu?. This behavior of the Greek authorities testifies to the deep schism Between Greece and the EU not only in matters of domestic economic policies of countries and austerity measures, but also in international politics, and complicates the decision of the Ukrainian fall, reported in the publication. However, Russia has already demonstrated a preparedness to go to Greece to meet and said that it increases the possibility of withdrawing food embargo in the event of its withdrawal from the European Union. Thus, it is possible that such behavior Athens show Brussels that they have "other options" and they have the ability to block the adoption of new sanctions on Russia, emphasizes CNBC.
