Despite Covid, France-Ukraine trade remained strong last year,

falling slightly to $2.1 billion. French brands account for about 20% of new car sales in Ukraine, with Renault the most popular. Last year, France exported $180 million worth of wine to Ukraine. After Ukraine lifted import duties on EU wine in January, this figure is to grow. About 180 French companies operate in Ukraine, controlling $1.1 billion in foreign investment, the Kyiv Post reported last week in its annual France-Ukraine edition.
