On Tuesday, the World Trade Organisation (WTO) confirmed that Ukraine had submitted requests for consultations with countries that unilaterally banned the import of Ukrainian agricultural products.

"We can confirm that a request for consultations was received Monday evening. Further information will be provided once the request has been circulated to our members," Reuters cited a WTO representative

The organisation's representative did not name the countries, although Ukraine previously stated that these were Poland, Slovakia and Hungary.

Ukraine officially submitted requests for consultations with Slovakia, Poland and Hungary within the framework of the WTO on 18 September. 

The Polish and Slovak authorities said they will not lift unilateral restrictions on agricultural imports from Ukraine after it initiated a challenge within the World Trade Organisation.
