“Such a postponement was expected, given that the parties had a negotiation deadlock. Before the British, there were two options. The first is to firmly withdraw from the European Union on March 29, sever relations with Brussels and establish full-fledged borders. The second is to try to find some kind of agreement. In the UK, we have taken the second path so far. But in no case does Brexit itself cancel it, ”the expert believes.

According to him, at this stage of the negotiations "there are not enough opportunities to achieve some kind of agreement."

“There are many serious contradictions between the parties. There is no acceptable option for all today, because the positions are too opposite, ”said Fenenko.

Earlier, Tusk said that the leaders of the 27 countries - members of the European Union made a unanimous decision at the request of the UK to postpone Brexit.

It is noted that the EU agrees to postpone Brexit until May 22, if "the agreement on withdrawal will be approved by the House of Commons next week."
