Russia hopes Greece reaches deal soon

Moscow - Russia hopes Greece will reach a deal with its international creditors as soon as possible, a Kremlin spokesperson said on Monday, adding that questions regarding financial help for Greece should be addressed to Athens.

"We want our Greek partners to reach the necessary compromises with creditors as soon as possible and take decisions which will allow for economic and social stability in the country in the best way," spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.

Peskov said the Kremlin respected the outcome of Greece's weekend bailout referendum and was closely following events in Greece.
