Greece–Russia relations

Greco-Russian relations are the bilateral foreign relations between Greece and Russia. The two countries first entered into diplomatic relations in 1828. Both Greece and Russia are members of international organizations and agreements, including the United Nations, Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, and the Organization of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation.

Relations between the governments of the two states deteriorated since the Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation in 2014, when Greece condemned Russian intervention and refused to recognize Crimea as part of Russia. In the summer of 2018 relations deteriorated even further. Since the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine political relations hit a historic low since Russian independence.

Even though relations have been mostly adverse, Greek people had better views of Russia. A poll in 2019 found that 58% of Greeks viewed Russia favorably. However the Russian Invasion of Ukraine severely damaged Russia's image in Greece. As of 2023, only 32% of Greeks have a favorable view of Russia, while 66% have a negative opinion.

Greece has an Embassy in Moscow, and three Consulates General: in Moscow, in Saint Petersburg and in Novorossiysk. Russia has an embassy in Athens, and a Consulate General in Thessaloniki.
