Rusland schrapt ook transitvervoer naar Kirgizië

Rusland heeft nieuwe beperkingen opgelegd aan het Oekraïense transitvervoer. Het verbod op het transporteren van goederen via Rusland naar Kazachstan geldt nu ook voor Kirgizië. ''Dit kan ook nog andere, derde landen treffen in Centraal Azië'', aldus een verklaring van het Oekraïense ministerie van Economische Ontwikkeling en Handel waarin de nieuwe transitbeperkingen in strijd worden genoemd met de internationale afspraken.

''De beperkingen die de Russische Federatie ons oplegt zijn onbegrijpelijk, onrechtmatig en discriminerend, en zijn in strijd met de verplichtingen die, in het bijzonder, voortvloeien uit de de afspraken die moeten worden nagekomen als lid van de wereldhandelsorganisatie WTO en vanwege het vrijhandelsverdrag'', aldus het ministerie.
