your “fact” is neither proven nor is it undisputedly true. as such, it simply isn’t a “fact” at all. “opinion” or “hypothesis” would be accurate terms.

Obviously the Kremlin is pleased to see the UK leave the EU and therefore lose its pro-USA influence over EU sanctions policy-making etc. That is one of many outcomes called for in The Foundations of Geopolitics: The Geopolitical Future of Russia by Aleksandr Dugin. (Putin's most respected geopolitical strategist). That book was actually used as a textbook in Russia's General Staff Academy. (The book was also co-authored by General Nikolai Klokotov of the General Staff Academy.)

Here is a brief synopsis, courtesy of Wikipedia:

The book states that "the maximum task [of the future] is the 'Finlandization' of all of Europe".[1]

In Europe:

- Germany should be offered the de facto political dominance over most Protestant and Catholic states located within Central and Eastern Europe. Kaliningrad oblast could be given back to Germany. The book uses the term a "Moscow-Berlin axis".[1]

- France should be encouraged to form a "Franco-German bloc" with Germany. Both countries have a "firm anti-Atlanticist tradition".[1]

- United Kingdom should be cut off from Europe.[1]

-Finland should be absorbed into Russia. Southern Finland will be combined with the Republic of Karelia and northern Finland will be "donated to Murmansk Oblast".[1]

-Estonia should be given to Germany's sphere of influence.[1]

-Latvia and Lithuania should be given a "special status" in the Eurasian-Russian sphere.[1]

-Poland should be granted a "special status" in the Eurasian sphere.[1]

-Romania, Macedonia, "Serbian Bosnia" and Greece – "orthodox collectivist East" – will unite with the "Moscow the Third Rome" and reject the "rational-individualistic West".[1]

-Ukraine should be annexed by Russia because "“Ukraine as a state has no geopolitical meaning, no particular cultural import or universal significance, no geographic uniqueness, no ethnic exclusiveness, its certain territorial ambitions represents an enormous danger for all of Eurasia and, without resolving the Ukrainian problem, it is in general senseless to speak about continental politics". Ukraine should not be allowed to remain independent, unless it is cordon sanitaire, which would be inadmissible.[1] ...

In the United States:

- Russia should use its special forces within the borders of the United States to fuel instability and separatism. For instance, provoke "Afro-American racists". Russia should "introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics."[1]
