KIEV, Feb. 13 – Ukraine on February 9 filed a requirement to the World Trade Organization (WTO) to set up an expert group within the framework of the case on numerous transit restrictions from the territory of Ukraine through Russian territory to third countries - Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan (DS512 Russia - measures for transit traffic), the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade of Ukraine has reported.

"We are deeply convinced that Russia's trading aggression, including wrongful actions on transit limitation (and de facto almost a complete ban) from Ukraine to third countries must obtain an objective assessment of WTO experts and, of course, should be abolished. We believe in the validity of our position, we will make every effort to prove it," Deputy Economic Minister, Trade Representative of Ukraine Natalia Mykolska said.
