Zelensky thanks UK for dropping off all the Tariffs
UK choices to nullify all tariffs on imports of Ukrainian goods will save thousands of jobs in Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelensky said in his evening video address.
"I am grateful to the United Kingdom and personally to Prime Minister Boris Johnson for his prompt and positive response to our request for trade liberalization," Zelensky said.
UK announced on Monday, April 25th, that all tariffs on imports from Ukraine would be cut out to help the Ukrainian economy.
Zelensky said the move would save Ukrainian jobs, and add security to the global food market, "which is one step away from a large-scale price crisis due to Russia's war against Ukraine".
a few nations around the world rely on Ukrainian grain exports and have seen food costs soar in the midst of the war.
Zelensky also thanked Japan for its sanctions on Russia and anticipated that the EU would pass new sanctions in the coming days.
In his speech, he also noted Tuesday had marked the 36th anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster as he accused Russia of firing missiles over three nuclear plants around the country.
