How are the Greek Media / Political talking heads viewing the present crisis in the Ukraine ?

Question

In the U K the message from the T V News is basically " Nasty Russians seized the Crimea , and now threaten to invade the Eastern Ukraine too , on a pretext of protecting ethnic Russians from ( non-existent ) Western Ukranian fascist mobs " .

Is that the line in Greece too ?

Airpole. · Accepted Answer

Greece has a large number of Greek citizens and Greek speaking minorities in the area and therefore the whole approach to the problem is done with extreme care to ensure there will not be any repercussions for the people there. 
However, "the Nasty Russians" as you call them, have very important interests in the area and basically their naval bases, that allow them, access to the Mediterranean and beyond and they are not likely to allow much freedom on the matter.

Furthermore, they have the means to squeeze Ukraine and Europe for that matter, in favor of their interests if only they are pushed to the corner. Natural gases and oil are very important amenities for Europe to push things to extremes.
