    Ukrainian Prime Minister Serhii Koretskyi stated that European Union limits on Ukrainian wheat and grain must remain transitional rather than turning into permanent barriers. Speaking via video address at the EU Enlargement Summit in Brussels, Koretskyi acknowledged European agricultural concerns while maintaining that Ukraine cannot be permanently shut out of the EU market.

    The debate over agricultural access highlights friction between integration goals and domestic protectionism within current member states. Kyiv seeks a clear timeline for full entry into the European single market, while Brussels demands structural changes. Progress relies heavily on member-state approval and continued administrative compliance from Ukraine.
