Oreshkin published a post in social networks, thanking the experts of the Ministry and the permanent mission to the organization in Geneva for the excellent work. He also noted that the victory in the dispute will seriously strengthen Russia's position in the dispute with the United States on import duties on steel and aluminum.Journalist Andrei Kolesnikov asked the head of the Department in the comments if he felt sorry for the "poor Ukrainians"."They do not feel sorry for themselves," answered Oreshkin. He was attached to the recording material, a statement Klimkin that Ukraine has lost a dispute, because it was not taken into account the advice of the foreign Ministry. Since 2016, Russia has imposed restrictions on the transit of Ukrainian goods through its territory. This decision was a reaction to the start of the free trade zone between Ukraine and the European Union on January 1, 2016. According to the approved procedure, cargo transportation from Ukraine to Kazakhstan through Russia should be carried out only through the established checkpoints, subject to the presence of the GLONASS system. In the autumn of 2016, Kiev filed a lawsuit against Moscow in the WTO. Earlier in the day it became known that Russia won the dispute.
