The Ukrainian side is extremely interested in implementing such an agreement, despite the fact that the United States is not Ukraine’s largest trading partner. Kachka noted:
“We are interested in free trade agreements with all G7 countries. That is, we have agreements with Britain, Canada, and the European Union. We still need the USA and Japan”
.
He emphasized that more and more Ukrainian producers understand the necessity of adapting export strategies to more developed markets, which impose higher quality requirements on products. This, in turn, can ensure greater added value and profitability.
Kachka also pointed out that it is important to focus on the possibility of exporting to the USA and concluding the corresponding free trade agreement. In his opinion, the creation of a joint investment fund for the reconstruction of Ukraine will serve as the foundation for implementing this agreement.
