Ukraine's economic power not a threat to EU market, but a global asset - Stefaniyna.

Ukraine has significant agricultural and industrial potential, which is not a threat to the European Union, but is an important asset for all of Europe, according to Olga Stefaniyna, Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration and Minister of Justice of Ukraine, during a discussion in Brussels.

Stefaniyna stated that Ukraine should study the experience of neighboring countries that have previously joined the EU in order to build a common market. She emphasized Ukraine's potential in shipbuilding, industry, and agriculture.

Stefaniyna noted that Ukraine is not currently using 'conventional' economic means to demonstrate its potential. She pointed out that the Ukrainian economy faces challenges due to the war, but added that the contradictions in the EU market are less influential than Russian aggression.

The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that Ukraine is an important player in global food security and has significant geopolitical potential for the European Union. She called for the development of this potential and not to diminish it.
