The corresponding order was adopted at a management meeting on Wednesday. A number of items have been added to the list: polyethylene with a specific gravity of 0.94 or more, and polyvinyl chloride not mixed with other substances, ammonium sulfate, a mixture of ammonium nitrate with calcium carbonate or other inorganic substances that are not fertilizers. Also included in this list is polyethylene with a specific gravity of 0.94 or more and polyvinyl chloride, not mixed with other substances. It is noted that this decision was made “with a view to ensuring the state security of Ukraine.” At first, the restrictions were introduced before August 5, the previous 2016th, but then they were extended until the end of 2017.

At the same time, the list of products that are subject to restrictions has been expanded. Ukraine introduced counterforce measures after the Russian Federation stopped the contract on the free trade zone with the Ukrainian state from January 1, last 2016. The leadership on December 20 also decided to include from March 1, 2018 in the list of embargoed Russian goods ammonium sulfate, a mixture of ammonium nitrate with calcium carbonate or other inorganic substances that are not fertilizers, polyethylene with a specific density of 0.94 or more, and polyvinyl chloride not mixed with other substances
