Greece is stepping up efforts to find allies in the U.S. and Russia as cash reserves run dry while an agreement on additional funding from the country’s euro partners still looks like weeks away.
Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis met with International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde in Washington and reiterated Greece will repay her institution about 450 million euros ($494 million) on April 9.
