EU Finds Compromise to Extend Tariff-Free Trade for Ukraine

European Union member states struck a hard-fought compromise Wednesday to extend tariff-free trade for Ukraine for another year as farmers across the bloc have been protesting food imports from the war-torn nation.

The agreement reached by the bloc’s ambassadors comes on the back of a provisional deal with the European Parliament last week that proposed reinstating tariffs on some food imports from Ukraine in the case of oversupply.
