VIENNA (Sputnik) — Russia hopes that the world's economic situation will remain stable after the decision of the United Kingdom to quit the European Union, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexey Meshkov said Tuesday.
"Obviously, we are interested in the world's economic situation not to deteriorate.. [interested in] steady growth, it is necessary for our own economy," Meshkov told journalists.
