KYIV: President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Tuesday that trade restrictions imposed by Ukraine’s neighbours in eastern Europe were “absolutely unacceptable”, and that Kyiv expected “strong” European decisions to remove them.
At a news conference with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in Kyiv, he said such trade restrictions were harsh, protectionist and played into the hands of Russia, which launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February, 2022.
