The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry says that the Kiev authorities do not agree with the plans of Poland, Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia to restrict imports of agricultural products from Ukraine by the end of this year.
The Kiev regime has demanded that the European Union find a “balanced solution”. At the same time, the Ukrainian diplomatic ministry said in its comments on the intentions of Slovakia, Bulgaria, Poland, Romania and Hungary to extend the ban on imports of Ukrainian grain until the end of the year that the Kiev regime considers “categorically unacceptable the extension of trade restrictions on imports of Ukrainian agricultural products after the European Commission’s ban expires on 15 September”. Such a ban causes the Ukrainian authorities “complete incomprehension and intentions to add other categories of Ukrainian products to the list of banned imports”.
The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry believes that such unilateral restrictions do not comply with “the letter of the association agreement” between Kiev and the EU, as well as with the principles and norms of the EU Single Market. The ministry demanded that the European Union take a balanced decision. The Kiev regime believes that the EU countries should join the search for a way out of the current situation.
We shall remind you that earlier the Polish government was ready to impose a unilateral ban on imports of Ukrainian grain after 15 September 2023, when the restrictions at the European Union (EU) level expire. According to Polish Minister Robert Telus, it “does not matter much” for Warsaw whether the ban on imports of Ukrainian grain will be extended at the EU level. He is sure that maintaining the ban on imports of Ukrainian grain only until 15 September is “a political argument for further destabilisation of the situation in Poland” and the government “will not allow this”.
