Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal declares Ukraine's readiness to find reasonable compromises to extend the Agreement between Ukraine and the European Union on freight transportation by road.

"It is extremely important for all of us to extend the Agreement between Ukraine and the EU on freight transportation by road. This is what we call a ‘transport visa waiver’ and which significantly improves logistics between Ukraine and the EU," Shmyhal said at a briefing with the European Union's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell in Kyiv on Wednesday.

The Prime Minister stressed that such an approach is beneficial for the European Union as well.

"Ukraine is ready to seek reasonable compromises and act on the basis of economic pragmatism. I am sure that we can find the necessary solutions together," he concluded.
