The main goal of the Council of Europe summit will be to develop legislative and legal mechanisms to bring Russia to justice.

Leaders of 46 countries who gathered on Tuesday for a two-day summit of the Council of Europe intend to create a system that will make it possible to hold Russia accountable for war crimes and destruction in Ukraine. At the meeting in Reykjavik, the participants want to formulate the basic principles of two respective registers. This was reported by the Associated Press.

The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, calls on neighbouring countries and the states of the European Union to refrain from any decisions regarding trade with Ukraine without consulting it.

Briefly:

From May 2, according to the decision of the European Commission, Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia undertake to cancel their unilateral measures regarding the import of agricultural products coming from Ukraine. At the same time, 4 agricultural crops - wheat, corn, rapeseed and sunflower - will not be exported to Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovakia until June 5, 2023.

This is stated in the joint appeal of the leading public associations of the agri-food sector of Ukraine. The agricultural community is extremely concerned about the situation with the unilateral ban on the import of Ukrainian food to certain EU countries.

We are talking about the decision of the Governments of Poland, Hungary, Slovakia and Bulgaria to ban the import of agricultural products from Ukraine. These decisions also provoke certain similar actions of other EU countries that are neighbours of Ukraine. In particular, there are currently ongoing discussions in Romania.
