The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, on Tuesday, March 8, in her Telegram channel named the reason for the UK’s exit from the European Union, noting that the United States is destroying the EU, disguising it as collective suicide.
“Do you now understand why Britain left the European Union? The US is killing the EU, disguising it as a collective suicide. London has decided to live longer,” the diplomat said.
According to her, this is the whole point of “solidarity” and “values”.
On December 30, 2020, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Boris Johnson signed a trade cooperation agreement with the European Union after Brexit. He noted that the agreement is “the beginning of a great relationship between the UK and our friends and partners in the European Union.”
On the same day, EU leaders put their signatures on the agreement. On behalf of the European Union, the agreement was signed by President of the European Council Charles Michel and President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen.
The parties signed three documents: an agreement on trade and cooperation, an agreement on procedures for the exchange and protection of confidential information, and an agreement on cooperation in the field of peaceful use of atomic energy.
The UK officially left the European Union at midnight on 31 January 2020.
