According to this agency, Britain's departure from the EU could lead to negative impacts both economically and politically, pushing the Union to the brink of collapse.

At that time, the EU will focus on solving internal problems, not expanding its borders to the East.

Stratfor also pointed out that instability in Chisinau, Kiev and Tbilisi will make it take longer for the three countries of Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova to join the common European roof.

The Brexit event has raised a warning bell for the EU about the political instability taking place in the old continent as well as causing the chances of these three countries joining the EU to decrease rapidly, even though the EU had previously proposed visa exemption for citizens of these countries.

Stratfor's report also suggests that the EU could abandon its tough stance and gradually ease sanctions against Russia.

The leaders of three Eastern European countries have recently made commitments to the EU, despite internal political barriers at home. However, from dissatisfaction with the development situation in their own countries, the people in the three countries are gradually shifting to support politicians with a pro-Russian stance.
