The Prime Minister believes the result of the Brexit referendum was legitimate and was not influenced by Russia, Downing Street has said.
No 10 said it was “inconceivable” that Russia had not attempted to use the referendum to its advantage. However, the Prime Minister’s view is that any such effort did not succeed in influencing the outcome.
The statement addresses claims about possible Russian activity surrounding the vote while maintaining that the referendum result itself was valid. No further details about the alleged efforts or the basis for the assessment were provided in the supplied material.
Downing Street’s position is that Russia may have sought to exploit the referendum, but that this did not determine the result. The latest stated position is that the Brexit vote remains legitimate despite those claims.
