Brexit and the changing European perspective on Russia (PARMENTIER on Russia Direct)

Florent Parmentier of the School of Public Affairs at Sciences Po in Paris talks about Brexit’s consequences for Europe and sheds light on the current state of Europe-Russia relations.

 

The UK vote to leave the European Union has become one of the most serious challenges in the Union’s history. Combined with the growing terrorist threat and refugee crisis, Europe is now facing an unprecedented scope of threats and challenges. How Russia fits into this picture is still unclear.

Russia Direct talked to Florent Parmentier, assistant director of the Sciences Po School of Public Affairs, research associate at HEC and founder of the website eurasiaprospective.net, about the impact Brexit might have on the European Union in general and what Europe and Russia should do to start the reconciliation process.
