Customs duties on imports from Ukraine into the EU are to remain suspended for another year, member states agreed in Strasbourg on May 25. "By renewing these measures, the EU is continuing to demonstrate its unwavering political and economic support for Ukraine," the Council of Ministers said in a statement. The suspension was introduced in the middle of last year in reaction to the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine and has now been extended to June 2024. Eastern EU member states, including Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, and Romania, have objected to increases in imports of food and animal feed from Ukraine.
