Georgy Kukhaleyshvili notes that in early August, demand for raw milk in Ukraine increased, as dairy processing plants seek to ship as much finished products as possible to the EU duty-free before the quotas are exhausted. In June 2025, the European Commission canceled autonomous trade measures (ATMs) and restored quotas and duties on Ukrainian dairy products. Subsequently, Ukraine and the EU revised the trade agreement, agreeing on new quotas for the export of Ukrainian dairy products, subject to a gradual transition to EU standards by 2028. However, the new document was not signed due to the position of Hungary, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria and Slovakia on duties and quotas for Ukrainian grain, which are also stipulated in the agreement.
