In statements after the end of the Eurogroup to reporters, Finance Minister of Malta Edward Scicluna spoke of "total collapse" in the communication between the two sides.

On the other hand, Bloomberg reports that Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis reportedly suffered "pounding" from frustrated Europeans FinMins.
