The curfew for the winter holidays in Kyiv will be in effect as usual – from 00:00 to 05:00, the Kyiv City Military Administration’s telegram channel reported on Sunday.
“There will be no mass events in Kyiv on Christmas and New Year’s Day – no fairs, no celebrations. Such a decision was made by the Kyiv Defense Council,” the message says.
At the same time, a Christmas tree will be installed on St. Sophia Square in the center of Kyiv at the expense of patrons. Installation work is scheduled to begin on Sunday, December 3.
“The opening will be on December 6, St. Nicholas Day. The Christmas tree will be installed exclusively at the expense of patrons – without spending budget funds on the arrangement of the Christmas tree and electricity,” the military administration said.
During the next revision of the duties introduced back in 2001 on hot-rolled carbon and alloy steel sheet and strip from Brazil, China, India and Ukraine, Canada refused to extend the 77% duty on goods from Ukraine.
“The Tribunal reversed its ruling regarding the dumping of such goods exported or originating in Ukraine. The Tribunal found that continuing or resuming the dumping of these goods is unlikely to result in harm,” the Canadian International Trade Terminal said on the website of the Government of Canada.
With regard to products from Brazil, China and India, restrictive measures have been maintained.
“Since August 2001, duties of 77% have been imposed on hot-rolled carbon steel products originating from Ukraine in Canada, which effectively deprived our producers of an economic incentive to export their products to Canada. After 20 years, finally, Ukrainian steel products can again be exported to Canada “, – commented on this decision, Ambassador of Ukraine Yulia Kovaliv on Facebook.
