KIEV (Sputnik) – Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko on Tuesday signed a law that allows the country’s Cabinet of Ministers to introduce economic sanctions against Russia in response to Moscow’s decision on the free trade zone agreement and a food embargo.
“Today [Wednesday], the Cabinet of Ministers will pass two decrees in regard to counteractions against the illegal activities by the Russian Federation. The first decree is a ban on the import of goods from Russia into Ukraine’s customs territory. The second decree is the placement of import tariffs on Russian goods,” Yatsenyuk said during a ministry meeting.
