Russia bans more imports from Ukraine

"Since Ukraine joined the sanctions against the Russian Federation, economic and financial, we have decided to impose ... protective measures in the form of food embargo. This decision is postponed till January 1," he said. "Most likely we’ll have to protect our market on a unilateral basis from unattended access of goods through Ukraine’s customs territory, those being goods from the third countries, first of all from the states of the European Union. The protection will mainly concern introduction of most favored nation regime. In a situation like that we won’t have reasons for keeping zero rate of customs tariff with Ukraine," the Russian minister said.
