Ukrainian Prime Minister Vows Tit-for-Tat Response to Possible Russian Trade …
KYIV, September 17 (RIA Novosti) – Kyiv will retaliate any trade restrictions imposed by Russia over Ukraine’s free trade zone with the European Union by taking tit-for-tat measures , Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk said Wednesday.
“As soon as Russia imposes trade restrictions on Ukraine, we will introduce mirror-like measures immediately,” Yatsenyuk said.
Moscow previously expressed deep concern over Ukraine’s signing of the free trade agreement with the EU, saying it could trigger an uncontrolled flow of duty-free goods, and warned Kyiv that Russia would have to cancel trade preferences for Ukraine to protect its markets.
