Historically, the World Trade Organization (WTO) arbitration brought to Ukraine, having satisfied for the first time Russia's claim for admission of violations during the anti-dumping investigation conducted by Kiev on the import of fertilizers, ammonium nitrate of Russian origin. The WTO Arbitration recognized violations of Ukraine. "Thus, the WTO has satisfied the requirements of the Russian Federation and requires Ukraine" to remove violations, "- said the" European truth ". The publication published information that the preliminary text of the decision has already been sent to the Ukrainian side. However, it will be considered effective and binding only after publication on the WTO website, which will occur in the coming weeks. "European Truth" cites the experts' opinion that such an arbitration award was quite predictable and would not have had any special consequences for Ukraine if it did not create a precedent in other disputes with Russia.

Ukraine is building its position on the assertion that Russia "systematically introduces restrictions against us, guided only by political logic. But now it is proved that we are also introducing unreasonable restrictions against the Russian Federation, "said one of the experts. Ammonium nitrate is used as a fertilizer in all agricultural zones. In 2014, anti-dumping duties on import of ammonium nitrate from Russia were raised by Ukraine for five years. In May 2015, Russia filed a lawsuit against Ukraine in the WTO, since it considered that the adoption of such duties does not comply with WTO rules.
