Ukraine govt to prepare ban on Russia oil products imports by Fri

KIEV, Apr 6 (PRIME) -- Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseny Yatsenyuk has ordered the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade to prepare a ban on imports of oil products from Russia by Friday.

“The order I am giving to the Economic Development Ministry and the trade representative of Ukraine -- we have imposed sanctions against Russia, but one of the key aspects – imports of oil products from Russia – was not included on the sanctions list for some reason,” he said.

“That is why I am asking the economy ministry to develop a mechanism to ban oil products imports from the aggressor state, the Russian Federation, for Friday so that we could put it on the agenda of an extraordinary meeting of the government.”
