Since June 24, Russia has extended the ban on the imports of food products from a number of Western countries for one year, declared Vladimir Putin, President of the Russian Federation, on June 24.

"The government has addressed a letter to me asking to extend the measures that we had taken in response to the actions of our partners from several countries. Today, in accordance with this letter, I have signed a decree on extending certain special economic measures in order to ensure the safety of the Russian Federation," V.Putin said.

As a reminder, on August 7, 2014, Russia imposed counter-sanctions in response to the restrictive measures of the USA, Australia, Canada, the European Union and Norway. The reporting counter-sanctions banned the imports of beef, pork, poultry meat, fish, cheese, milk, vegetables and fruit from the reporting countries.
