Ukraine’s new president, Petro Poroshenko, was in Brussels for the signing ceremony, and pledged to keep Ukraine on the path to eventual integration with the European Union. In the immediate term, Ukraine’s exporters stand to benefit, with some estimates putting the gains from trade at up to €500 million per year.
