Russian President Vladimir Putin and Christine Lagarde, the managing director at the global Monetary Fund, discussed the Greek referendum on Monday, July 6, the Kremlin spokesman said, according to Reuters.

Peskov said in comments carried by state media that the aid issue would likely be addressed during an upcoming BRICS emerging economies summit that starts on Wednesday in the Russian city of Ufa. The results of the referendum showed that 61.31% of voters rejected the bailout prposal, while 38.69% accepted it.

Tsipras, who has been an outspoken critic of European Union sanctions against Russian Federation, met Putin last month at an economic forum in St Petersburg.
