Ukraine’s new agriculture minister said that the European Union should support his country’s farmers and not treat them as a threat to their counterparts in the bloc.
“The main message is that we are not a threat, we are a partner,” Vitaliy Koval said in an interview in Brussels. “With us, Europe will become strong and so will we. It’s a two-way traffic and we will not let you down.”
