According
to the Tass Russian news agency, the Russian Minister of Agriculture,
Nikolai Fyodorov, stated that “If Greece has to leave the European
Union, we will build our own relations with it, the food ban will not
be applicable to it,” in news conference in Berlin on Friday.
Also,
he said that “European Union countries, which felt discomfort
from the slump in proceeds from exports of foods to Russia, were
asking Russia to cushion the impacts of the Russian food import ban
by expanding other types of imports. [...] adding that these
countries offer new formats of cooperation in those areas that are
not covered by the Russian food sanctions.”
“'We
discussed possible expansion of cooperation and mutual trade in
agricultural products and agreed to work in the new conditions
strictly within the frameworks of the current legislation of Russia,
the Customs Union, Germany and the European Union,' Fyodorov said.
'The dialogue was intensive and concrete, we spoke about how we can
develop our cooperation,' Schmidt [German Minister of Agriculture]
told journalists.”

Russians seeing opportunities in the possibility of the radical
change of the European political landscape. It's not accidental that
these statements come a few days before the crucial elections in
Greece. Already mentioned that:
“...
the details of the new agreement show that Russia probably wants to
put Greece back in the game, seeing that there are dramatic changes
in the political landscape not only in Greece, but also in Europe
that could change dramatically the geopolitical status. At the same
time, Russia sees an opportunity to play a key role, especially in
the eastern Mediterranean, therefore seeking agreements which
increase the stability in the region and minimise the possibility of
various conflicts.”

“A
second consequence for the US deep state would be the loss of Europe
in the new Cold War. Except from Britons, who have traditional deep
ties and common interests with the US, the rest of Europe could slip
to the Sino-Russian bloc which grows rapidly in the military and
economic field and increasingly gaining independence from the Western
economic system, attracting other countries too.”

its my firm opinion that Greece needs to export more and more of its products especially food and agricultural products. However, i do not think that this constitutes of a reason for Greece to leave the EU. There just have to be more food suppliers or in more general terms exporting initiatives and companies, to take over and help the economy.
