This was stated by Prime Minister Denis Shmygal after the conclusion of a free trade agreement between Ukraine and the Republic of Turkey. This is reported by the Government Portal.

Denis Shmygal said that a free trade zone with Turkey would finally open the Turkish market for Ukrainian metal, which would have a positive impact on the development of the Ukrainian industry. At the same time, Ukraine reserved the right to apply an export duty on the export of scrap metal.

"The agreement simultaneously opens up opportunities and protects the interests of both countries", - stressed the head of the Ukrainian government.
