With an existing temporary trade agreement between the EU and Ukraine set to expire on 5 June, member states have registered discontent with the European Commission’s inconclusive negotiation of a future arrangement with the war-torn state.
Tensions surfaced during a closed-door session of the EU's monthly gathering of agriculture ministers in Brussels on Monday, during which member states’ representatives expressed frustration with the Commission for its failure to clinch a deal with Ukraine, despite having had ample time to do so, two people familiar with the meeting told Euronews.
