Top Cats Hat Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 An effort that cant be quantified. Did it make any difference, can you prove it did? Probably, but how much is hard to tell. The point I was making was that it is very much in Russia's interest to destabilise the EU, which it was trying so hard to help the Vote Leave campaign.

The best thing for Russia is the most severe Brexit possible. This is perfect for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top Cats Hat Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 I guess the simple question then is , why? One of the reasons for Russia invading the Ukraine and annexing the Crimea was because of the overthrow of the pro-Russian Yanukovytch government and its replacement with a pro-EU government looking for stronger economic ties with the West. Russia sees the EU as a much more attractive economic alternative to the Russian Federation for many former Soviet states, and therefore a threat to its own economic future. There is also some evidence that the far-right groups gaining ground in Sweden and Finland are being encouraged and aided by the Russian government.
