Introduction: verbitsky, director of the health and Quarantine Bureau of the Ministry of agricultural policy of Ukraine, said recently that if the chicken produced by the United States meets the health standards of Ukraine, Ukraine may lift the ban on the import of chicken from the United States According to Wutong news agency, welbitsky said Ukraine's decision to ban the import of chicken from the United States is because Ukrainian law does not allow the use of antibiotics and preservatives in chicken breeding and chicken processing, which has nothing to do with the U.S government's trade sanctions against Ukraine He said Uzbekistan is willing to study the possibility of resuming the import of chicken from U.S enterprises that meet the health standards of Uzbekistan Uzbekistan imported 69000 tons of chicken last year, 90% of which came from the United States Since January 1 this year, Ukraine has banned the import of chicken from the United States on the grounds that it does not meet health standards The U.S authorities believe that Ukraine's adoption of this measure is due to the U.S trade sanctions against it, and the reason for banning the import of chicken from the United States is untenable The US threatened to take counter retaliatory measures On March 23, the U.S government announced trade sanctions totaling $75 million to punish Ukraine for its slow action in fighting against pirated CDs and protecting intellectual property rights.
