KIEV (Sputnik) – Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk said the country needs to ban the purchases of Russian oil products and gave the Ministry of Economic Development until Friday to prepare the appropriate documents.
"The order that I give to the Ministry of Economic Development and to the Trade Representative of Ukraine: We have introduced a number of sanctions against Russia, but one of the key elements, the purchase of oil products from the Russian Federation, for some reason did not get in the sanctions list. That's why I ask the Ministry of Economy to work out a ban on the purchase of the oil products from the aggressor country, which the Russian Federation is, and on Friday, we have to bring up this decision for a discussion at an extraordinary meeting of the government," Yatsenyuk said.
