Can mediation be pursued when a contract has a binding arbitration clause, and what happens to the arbitration option if mediation succeeds or fails?

Question

I’m in Ukraine and the contract I signed requires disputes be resolved by arbitration. I’d like to try mediation first to see if we can settle, but I’m worried about losing the right to arbitrate later or complicated enforcement. Could you explain how mediation interacts with an arbitration clause under Ukrainian dispute resolution law and who typically pays the costs?

En général, la clause compromissoire n’impose aucune restriction quant à la médiation ou à d’autres modes de résolution des différends avant la procédure arbitrale.

Si la médiation aboutit, il ne sera plus nécessaire de recourir à l’arbitrage.

Cependant, pour vous fournir une réponse précise, nous devons examiner votre contrat comportant la clause compromissoire.
