Ukraine has filed complaints with the World Trade Organization [WTO] against Poland. Yulia Svyrydenko, the first deputy prime minister, stated that Ukraine views these restrictions as a violation of the EU countries' international obligations. The complaints were filed in response to the unilateral ban on the import of Ukrainian agriculture products by Poland, Slovakia, and Hungary. Ukrainian exporters have suffered significant monetary losses due to the restrictions. The issue is now under the consideration of the WTO. One could also argue this was part of the Russian plan, not only to waged conventional war against Ukraine, but also destroy Ukraine's economy in the process, at this phase of the conflict - that tactic appears to be working.
