There is an order from the President of the European Union and the Prime Minister of Ukraine to develop a new algorithm of interaction that will take into account the interests of Ukrainian and European farmers

He also added that trade volumes should be controlled. In addition, it is important that Ukraine continue to have access to the European market for its agricultural products.

It's not just about numbers, it's about people. We need to preserve the sustainability of rural areas.
