KYIV, March 7 – European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is proposing to grant Ukraine privileged access to the European Union's single market as part of a final peace deal, The Telegraph said.

"Lucrative access to a market of 449 million consumers would bring a much-needed economic boost to help rebuild the war-torn country, which is a candidate to join the EU. The plan would see Brussels choose which sectors to open up to Kyiv and which to keep closed," the publication said.
