New EU-Ukraine agri trade quotas to be 'in between' current deal and wartime exemptions
By Kate Abnett BRUSSELS (Reuters) -The European Union and Ukraine are negotiating a new deal that will set import quotas on agricultural goods from Ukraine somewhere "in between" current levels and the temporary exemptions granted after Russia's 2022 invasion, the EU's agriculture commissioner told Reuters. The EU temporarily waived duties and quotas on agricultural products in June 2022 after Russia's full-scale invasion to help Ukraine compensate for the higher costs of its exports, after Russia threatened its traditional Black Sea shipping lanes. Those tariff suspensions expired on Thursday. The EU and Ukraine reverted to the pre-war regime of trade quotas on Friday, while the two sides negotiate a new longer-term deal - in which Brussels is seeking to strike a balance between supporting Ukraine in its war with Russia, and heeding European farmers' concerns about cheaper Ukrainian imports. "What will be negotiated will be something in between the quotas under the existing DCFTA and the autonomous trade measures, the volumes that have been exported there," EU agriculture commissioner Christophe Hansen said in an interview with Reuters on Thursday. The DCFTA refers to Ukraine and the EU's pre-war trade deal. The EU's "autonomous trade measures" temporarily suspended quotas on Ukrainian imports from 2022. Ukraine's farm minister Vitaliy Koval told Reuters this week that Kyiv was pushing for an agreement on higher quotas than it had before the war. EU farmers have complained that large shipments of cheaper Ukrainian sugar imports under the wartime tariff exemptions have undercut local supplies. The EU triggered "emergency brakes" to re-impose quotas on products including sugar and eggs in the past year, in response to surging imports. The EU's Ukrainian sugar imports soared to 400,000 tons in the 2022/23 season and over 500,000 tons in 2023/24, far exceeding the pre-war quota of 20,000 tons. Hansen said the new quotas on sugar would be "significantly higher" than those under the pre-war arrangements. "I think we can absorb a certain amount of those products," he said, while noting sensitivities around sugar, poultry and eggs. Negotiations on the new EU-Ukraine deal started on June 2. Hansen said it was feasible a deal could be reached by summer. "It depends now on both sides, I think technically that could be feasible," he said. Agricultural goods accounted for about 60% of Ukraine's total exports last year, with the EU buying around 60% of those goods, worth about $15 billion. A senior Ukrainian lawmaker said last month the loss of tariff-free access to the EU market could cost the country 3.5 billion euros ($3.99 billion) in annual revenue. "Our solidarity with Ukraine is as firm as ever, and therefore we are very committed to deliver this agreement as quickly as possible," Hansen said. The pre-war quota regime, which applies as of Friday, also includes lighter rules on import licenses for some goods like poultry and eggs, where instead of requiring licenses, quotas will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

4 dead as Russia hits Ukraine with barrage of drones, peace talks on hold
Russia attacked Ukraine with a drone strikes. Four people were killed and at least 20 wounded in Kyiv. Ukrainian strikes overnight on Russia wounded three people. Russia carried out a barrage of drone strikes across Ukraine overnight, killing at least four people and wounding 20 in the capital Kyiv, Ukrainian officials said Friday. 'Kyiv came under another attack involving UAVs and ballistic missiles. Rescuers are responding to the aftermath at several locations across the city,' the State Emergency Service of Ukraine wrote on Telegram. Kyiv's Mayor Vitali Klitschko said four people have been confirmed dead in the capital, and 20 wounded - 16 of whom were hospitalised. Several fires broke out in various districts as a result of the shelling, including at a residential building, a civil infrastructure facility and a metal hangar. The shelling damaged train tracks in the Kyiv region, with Ukraine's national railway operator warning of 90-minute delays. Several strikes also hit western Ukraine's city of Lutsk and Ternopil region. 'Today, the enemy carried out the most massive air attack on our region to date. There are multiple strikes,' Ternopil's regional military administration chief Vyacheslav Negoda said. 'We have begun extinguishing fires and assessing the damage and other consequences.' The shelling in Lutsk wounded five people. 'We also have numerous broken windows in private homes, several educational institutions, and one damaged government facility,' the city's mayor Igor Polishchuk said on Telegram. Buildings and cars were also damaged in the western city of Khmelnytsky, the region's governor said. Russian leader Vladimir Putin has vowed to take revenge following a recent drone attack by Kyiv on Russian soil, which destroyed billions of dollars' worth of nuclear-capable bombers. Meanwhile, Ukrainian strikes overnight on Russia wounded three people in the western Tula region. Andriy Andriyenko/65th Mechanised Brigade of Ukrainian Armed Forces/AFP Russian air defence forces shot down a drone heading for Moscow, the capital's mayor said. 'In total, an attempted attack by 10 enemy drones targeting Moscow has been successfully repelled,' Mayor Sergei Sobianin said. Putin appeared to rule out a ceasefire or any direct talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The Ukrainian leader said on Wednesday that Moscow had handed Kyiv an 'ultimatum', demanding Ukraine fully pull out of four regions Russia claims to have annexed but does not fully control.
