What do you guys think of this situation? With Britain exiting the EU and Russia having massive trade deals with the EU, will the situation cause Russia's currency to default as has been predicted by certain individuals?

UK is the 5th biggest economy in the world, so obviously them leaving the EU is going to affect the viability and productiveness of any trade deal.

I'm just curious if because of it, it'll cause Russia to inch closer to their apparently inevitable default.


No it won't - the EU still has all its trade deals with 3rd parties in place.

Russia is also under sanctions as it is anyway....
