I guess with the whole virus thing, at least in Ireland, the Russia news was relegated to non important. The big question, if Russia was found to have backed Brexit by funding those who wanted to leave, is that illegal? They could say the money came from a rich Russian coal miner. If that coal miner does have other business interests within the UK, then surely it would be legal. They would be considered as just a backer. If they had no other interest in the UK at all, that is were it all becomes a bit more dark. Legal or illegal? How close this person is to the Russian government and the likes.
Will the EU be weaker without the UK in it? Is only 1 country. I am sure another country will now try and join the EU. This other country might border with Russia. As a lot of those new smaller countries are said to be in Europe. They hate Russia. Be worse for Russia to have all these former Soviet Union countries get into the EU. There is a good chance it could happen. If now staight away, in time.
