A representative of the Russian Federation expressed dissatisfaction with the ban against Russian companies on using the territory of Ukraine for transit transportation.

"There is no doubt that such actions directly violate WTO rules, in particular, in terms of freedom of transit. Kyiv utterly disregards international obligations under the WTO and the CIS," the Russian delegation stated.

It is noteworthy that this statement was made after Moscow and Kyiv reached an agreement on the resumption of freight traffic from Feb. 25.
