MOSCOW, March 11. /ITAR-TASS/. The Ukrainian authorities’ decision to block banking traffic to the Crimea looks like imposing sanctions against its own region, co-chair of the central headquarters of the All-Russian People’s Front and President of the Opora Rossii small and medium business support association Alexander Brechalov told Itar-Tass on Tuesday.

“This set of tools used by the pseudo-authorities in Ukraine, in Kiev in particular, demonstrate the level of that very power,” he said. “These authorities are far from process of constructive dialogue," Brechalov concluded.
