Medvedev: Brexit creates new risks for global economy

Britain's vote in favor of leaving the European Union has increased volatility on commodity markets, which concerns Russia, the Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said.

Medvedev said the results of the vote were important not only for Britain itself, but would also impact the global economy and the EU. "Russia needs to analyze all consequences of Brexit and take actions in the interests of its economy," Reuters cited Medvedev as saying.
