!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UAA1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ukrainian Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman has said a reckless policy to support domestic producers may lead to the fact that other states can introduce mirror measures and close their markets for Ukrainian products.

"If we give unconditional preferences to Ukrainian producers in the Ukrainian market, this means other markets will introduce mirror measures against us and restrict our products in their markets... If we take steps recklessly, these markets will be closed for us," he told in the Ukrainian parliament on Friday.
