The expert commented on the completion of the preparation of the EU to "hard" Brexit

“Such preparation of the European Union is due to fatigue from the position of London, from its duality. It is clear that the UK wants to split off, and at the same time to preserve all the preferences. But this is hardly possible in the modern world. This EU action will hit the Theresa May rating, which is not that high, ”he said.

According to Blokhin, with a similar decision, the European Union is trying to show other countries that belong to it, “what will happen if they follow the example of Great Britain”.

“This is a kind of demonstrative position. The EU shows its strength and desire to go forward, and Britain, on the contrary, seems to be ready to abandon its statements, ”he believes.

Earlier, the European Union completed preparations for the possible withdrawal of the UK from the community on April 12 without agreement.
