Press review: Russia, US take another step to mend ties as Kiev tries to outwit Washington

The BBC news agency reported on May 2 that several high-ranking members of the British parliament sent Prime Minister Teresa May an ultimatum demanding to abandon the "customs partnership" with the European Union after Brexit.

The lawmakers are unhappy with the work of their prime minister again. They believe that her initiative will deprive London of the opportunity to pursue an independent economic policy. According to experts, such an arrangement with the European Union will deprive the Ministry of Foreign Trade of the opportunity to sign beneficial agreements. The parliamentarians also fear the high costs of implementing the plan. In case of refusal to comply with this requirement, Teresa May may lose support, which will lead to a crisis in the government.

In fact, the UK's exit from the EU is becoming increasingly painful. This event has already become the most important in modern history. The deadline for the final withdrawal of London from the EU was originally scheduled for March 2019. However, the negotiations of the United Kingdom with Brussels are taking place against the backdrop of a huge number of disagreements on the terms of Brexit. The British government hasn't drawn up a concrete roadmap.

Previous Prime Minister David Cameron was opposed to Britain's withdrawal from the EU. He was well aware that Brexit would have far-reaching negative consequences for the future of the country. He warned his opponents about the huge losses for the country's economy. At the same time, politicians like Therese May refused to listen to him and they supported secession from the European Union.

However the initial arrogance and euphoria of the Brexit supporters after the referendum gave way to an increasingly clear understanding that the government had absolutely incorrectly calculated the possible EU response to the British desire to leave the union. Now it is likely that Britain is facing a difficult way to independence from the European Union.

Many analytical agencies note that the May government, amid unsuccessful negotiations with Brussels, causes growing dissatisfaction with the British who are waiting for realizing their will to be independent of Europe. At the same time, the current leadership is well aware that this discontent can easily provoke radical protest movements to take action.

The situation has only one solution. The British government should distract people from existing internal problems by concentrating their attention on external threats. Some media put forward the theory that May could use the resonant Skripal case to transfer focus from Brexit. In this case, ordinary British and intractable EU leaders should take Russia as a threat to the European world and forget about the betrayal of London.

If such a provocation took place then it failed. Initially, the effect was high. Some countries even showed solidarity with Britain and expel Russian diplomats as a sign of protest. But the longer the investigation takes place, the more obvious becomes the provocative nature of the attempt. Even in the United Kingdom itself there is growing distrust of the government in connection with the statements about the "Russian trace" in the Skripal case. So the Labor demands to begin an investigation into the British Foreign Minister Boris Johnson. The head of the Foreign Office accused that he misled the public by reporting about the Russian origin of the substance, which allegedly poisoned former GRU agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Julia. If the current UK government continues to hide problems, rather than solve them then its highly likely future is resignation.
