Ukraine withdraws from free trade zone with Russia

Ukraine withdraws from a free trade zone with Russia, raises duties on all Russian products and introduces trade embargos on a number of goods manufactured in Russia. It was stated by Yatsenyuk during the "10 minutes with Prime Minister" on air of Ukrainian TV channels. He recalled that due to the entry into force of the Agreement on free trade zone between Ukraine and the European Union, the Russian Federation, as expected, introduced a trade embargo against Ukraine and illegally withdrew from the FTA, said Yatsenyuk.
