"Blocking is unacceptable": Zelenskyy holds a meeting on agricultural exports. Photo
On Monday, 24 July, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a meeting with members of the government and international experts. The main issue was the export of Ukrainian agricultural products through the territory of European countries.
The head of state announced this in his Telegram. He noted that blocking exports by land after 15 September is unacceptable.
"There is a very important agreement with the European Commission on 15 September - this is the deadline for restrictions on our grain exports, and we believe that the European side will fulfil its obligations on this date, when the temporary restrictions will cease to apply. Any extension of the restrictions is absolutely unacceptable and frankly un-European," Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
He noted that Europe has the institutional capacity to act more rationally than to close a border for a particular product.
"We are actively working with everyone to find a solution that is in line with the spirit of our Europe," the President added.
