KIEV (Sputnik) – Ukraine will consider countermeasures against Russia a day after Moscow extended its food bans into the end of 2017, Ukrainian Trade Representative Natalia Mykolska said Thursday.
“We looked at this issue internally…to continue our embargo for the same period which Russia extended its own,” Mikolska told reporters.
She said the proposal made by the Ukrainian economic development and trade ministry to "mirror" Russia's food embargo will be considered by the cabinet of ministers.
“The Minister of Economic Development and Trade’s proposal is to mirror Russia’s corresponding aggressive actions,” Mikolska said.
