Ukraine to include another 70 Russian goods into sanction list — PM

The list currently includes bread, baked confectionery products, chocolate, meat, fish, coffee, black tea, baby foods, filter cigarettes, beer, vodka and some other items

KIEV, January 20. /TASS/. The Ukrainian government on Wednesday will make a decision to expand the list of Russian goods prohibited from import by more than 70 titles, Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk told the cabinet’s meeting.

"A list of more than 70 titles is on the agenda," he said.

Yatsenyuk claimed that Kiev’s counter-measures would be taken in retaliation to Russia’s decision to outlaw the import of Ukrainian goods.

"We will go on protecting our market," Yatsenyuk said.

Earlier, the government approved a list of goods not to be brought into the country from January 10 to August 5, 2016. It includes bread, baked confectionery products, chocolate, meat, fish, coffee, black tea, baby foods, filter cigarettes, beer, vodka and some other items.
