MOSCOW (Sputnik) — On Thursday, the United Kingdom held a referendum to determine whether or not the country should leave the European Union. According to the final results, 51.9 percent of voters, or 17.4 million people, decided to support Brexit, while about 16.1 million opposed it.
"The reaction of global markets on Brexit referendum results is expected and has no direct risks for Russia. Russia's Central Bank is closely following the situation and has necessary tools to operate under the conditions of volatile markets," the press service told RIA Novosti.
