KIEV, Sep 23 (PRIME) -- The Ukrainian government will consider slapping sanctions against Russia’s online retailer Wildberries and online cinema ivi, Ukrainian Culture Minister Alexander Tkachenko said on Wednesday.

“It has been recently announced about the entrance of Russian online service Wildberries to the Ukrainian market. This is why a protocol request to the government is proposed to consider applying special economic and other restrictive measures against the online services that spread propaganda and offer products of all sorts and content of Russian make in products and series that are banned by law,” Tkachenko said.

“Services just like ivi.ru or wildberrries.ru.”

Wildberries said on Monday it opened sales in Ukraine.
