“The imposition of sanctions on the supply of goods from Ukraine is a necessary measure, it is a reaction to the position of official Kiev. It would be strange to turn a blind eye to overt provocations, because starting in 2015, Ukraine has systematically imposed an embargo on our goods, ”the deputy explained.

According to Belik, Russia defends its interests, while Ukraine "refuses to be guided in its actions by sound logic."

“An objective analysis shows that the economy of Ukraine suffers much more from sanctions,” the parliamentarian concluded.

Earlier, Russia expanded the list of goods prohibited from importing from Ukraine.

It was supplemented, in particular, by starch, glucose and fructose, radiators and central heating boilers.

In summer, the Cabinet approved a list of goods prohibited from being imported into Russia from Ukraine.
