The Ministry of Agrarian Policy declares the possibility of a ban on the import of Russian livestock products and their transit through the territory of Ukraine if the Russian side refuses to cancel its decision within the next day.
This was stated during a press conference by Minister of Agrarian Policy Oleksandr Baranivskyi, reports "Ukrainian News."
"I would not like to make such an assumption, but if there is no agreement, we will introduce it unequivocally. We will have no other way out," said Baranivskyi.
At the same time, he emphasized that such trade wars lead to nothing good, since, first of all, they affect producers on both sides.
He noted that the Ukrainian side still hopes that Russia will review its decision and the tension will be relieved.
According to the Ministry of Agrarian Policy, as of 12:00 the Ukrainian delegation in Moscow (Russia) had still not managed to meet with the leadership directly dealing with this problem.
The head of the State Department of Veterinary Medicine, Ivan Bisiuk, who is in Moscow, reported that he managed to meet only with the head of the Interstate Council for Cooperation in the Field of Veterinary Medicine of the CIS member states, Oleksandr Morgunov, as well as to talk by phone with the head of the department of the State Department of Veterinary Medicine of Russia, Ivan Rozhdestvenskyi.
As reported, Baranivskyi had earlier canceled a visit to Russia for negotiations related to the ban on the import of Ukrainian livestock products due to not receiving the appropriate permission.
On January 23, the first round of negotiations took place regarding Russia's cancellation of the ban on the import of livestock products from Ukraine, the result of which was an agreement on preparing documents for possible signing on January 31.
On January 20, Russia introduced a ban on the import of all types of livestock products from Ukraine
