Imports of used cars from the US are returning to a pre-crisis level of 10,000 a month, Volodymyr Kovel, co-founder of a new association to defend car importers, told Interfax-Ukraine. The association is forming in reaction to market disruption caused in February, when the Internal Affairs Ministry proposed banning imports of ‘recycling’ cars, or cars that had been in accidents. In protest, 18,000 people signed an online petition on President Zelenskiy’s website. The import and repair of lightly damaged cars from the US is expected to be a $1 billion business next year. The most popular imports from North America are: Volkswagen Jetta and Passat cars assembled in Mexico, and Ford Focus and Fusion cars.
