Martial law has little impact on Ukrainian agro-industrial complex, acting minister says
"The martial law in ten regions of Ukraine had little impact on the agro-industrial complex. There were two facilitating factors. First, the business was sent an immediate clear signal that no restrictions on the activity would be applied. Second, there was a natural seasonal decrease in the industry’s activity in December, which softened for market players the turbulence associated with the introduction of the martial law," Acting Agrarian Policy and Food Minister of Ukraine Maksym Martyniuk told an Ukrinform correspondent.
As reported, on November 25, Russian border ships committed the acts of aggression against three Ukrainian ships heading from the port of Odesa to the port of Mariupol. The Russian special forces fired and seized three Ukrainian ships in the Kerch Strait and 24 sailors aboard.
On November 26, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted a law approving the decree of the President of Ukraine on the imposition of the martial law for 30 days in 10 regions of Ukraine in connection with the aggression of Russia.
Today, December 26, at 14:00, martial law introduced in 10 regions of Ukraine expires.
