Ukraine will respond in kind to any Russian trade bans – PM Yatseniuk
KYIV Nov 23 Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseny
Yatseniuk said on Monday Ukraine would respond in kind to any
trade bans by Russia, which plans to introduce a ban on
Ukrainian food imports over Kyiv’s participation in Western
sanctions.
“There will be an analogous Ukrainian decision to launch an
embargo against Russia to every Russian decision to launch an
embargo against Ukraine,” Yatseniuk said.
Yatseniuk also recommended temporarily suspending cargo
shipments to Crimea, the territory annexed by Russia from
Ukraine last year.
