We expect the EU Council on General Affairs to approve the negotiation framework without delay," the Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada said.
"An extremely important issue that has been raised is the autonomous trade liberalization measures granted by the EU to Ukraine from 2022 and the further extension of these measures. They have a crucial positive effect on Ukraine's economy," he added.
They also discussed the issue of food security.
We paid attention to the situation on the Ukrainian-Polish border and opportunities for unblocking the crossing points. After all, exporting products is a matter of economic stability and the country's survival in a full-scale war
