Ban on Russian exports to the EU will significantly reduce tension among European farmers, – Ukrainian representative Chentsov

Sanctions against the supply of Russian products to European countries will significantly reduce tensions among farmers there. This was stated by Ukraine’s representative to the EU, Vsevolod Chentsov.

Chentsov said that Ukraine is raising the issue of imposing a ban on the sale of Russian agricultural products in the European Union.

“In the context of recent events, we have raised this issue even more sharply, saying that it is unacceptable that Polish farmers are fighting with Ukrainian products at a time when not only Poland, but the EU as a whole imports significant amounts of Russian products,” he said.

According to him, Ukraine has support at the level of EU member states in this matter.

“I won’t go into details now, but of course, this can be a very important element in resolving the problem. If Russian exports are shut down, the tension and burden on producers here in the EU will be immediately reduced,” he said.
