Zelensky, in a conversation with the head of the European Council, opposed the ban on grain imports from Ukraine

This was reported by TASS with reference to the press service of the office of the Ukrainian president.

"The artificial illegal restriction of trade with the European Union hits Ukraine
both economically and politically," Zelensky said.

He also considers it necessary to find a balanced solution and resolve the situation "in a constructive and partnership way."

Earlier, Hungary and five other countries called on the European Commission to ban the import of agricultural products from Ukraine until the end of 2023.

Romanian Agriculture Minister Petre Daya said that the European Commission is ready to consider the possibility of suspending grain imports from Ukraine until June 5 if Poland, Bulgaria, Hungary and Slovakia lift unilateral import bans.

On April 28, the ambassadors of the EU member states supported the extension for a year of duty-free import into the EU of goods from Ukraine, including agricultural products.
