President Poroshenko: EU’s share in Ukraine’s foreign trade reaches 41%

“The agreement [on Ukraine-EU association] has started to yield its results,” Poroshenko said in his speech on the occasion of the anniversary of the Revolution of Dignity in Kyiv on Monday. According to him, the EU market has started to gradually compensate the huge blow to the Ukrainian economy, social sphere, living standards, caused by Russia’s hybrid war against Ukraine, in particular when it closed the access for Ukrainian goods to Russia’s market and blocked transit shipments to other markets. At the same time, President Poroshenko stressed that “since the beginning of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine in Crimea and Donbas, Ukraine’s government has felt the united support of the democratic world, first of all, by the Group of Seven countries and the European Union”.
