President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy said during an address to participants of the Ukraine–Northern European and Baltic States summit that "it is necessary to discuss increasing EU quotas, especially for Ukrainian food exports," UNN reports.
It is likely that we also need to discuss increasing EU quotas, especially for Ukrainian food exports. It is simply unfair when, on the one hand, the war blocks our food exports, while on the other hand, they are restricted by quotas. Let us consider this as well
The President added that consultations had been held with the Secretary-General at the UN level, among others.
All countries understand that this year there will be a major challenge regarding food and agricultural products. Therefore, we need to solve this problem - Zelenskyy added.
We remind you
Zelenskyy said that Ukraine had proposed a grain truce to russia and options for grain supplies. He called on international partners to increase pressure on moscow.
