This was reported by the Prime Minister of the Kingdom Teresa May.

“The decision was not easy, but the government decided to support the draft statement and the political declaration,” she said.

May said earlier that the draft Brexit agreement with the EU brings the parties closer to what the British were voting for.

A lecturer in the political science department of the Financial University under the Government of Russia Leonid Krutakov, in an interview with the publication PolitEkspert, assessed the situation around Brexit.
