Ukraine's Parliament ratified the free trade agreement (FTA) with Türkiye on Tuesday, a key step toward the pact's entry into force and paving the way for deeper economic ties.

The agreement was signed during President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's visit to Ukraine in February 2022. It completed Türkiye's ratification process in 2024.

"Another historic milestone has been reached in the Türkiye-Ukraine Free Trade Agreement," Trade Minister Ömer Bolat said.

Bolat added that the Ukrainian Parliament's approval opens a door to "a new era of economic and trade cooperation" between the two countries.

The agreement is expected to enter into force after being signed by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
