Ukraine PM advises broadening embargo on Russian goods

Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk said on Wednesday he recommended the government extend a list of banned Russian goods as part of a retaliatory trade embargo.

"I have instructed the economy ministry ... to broaden the list of goods that fall under counter-measures aimed at protecting the Ukrainian domestic market from Russian economic aggression," he said in a government meeting.

Ukraine has imposed a trade embargo on some Russian products in response to Russia's suspension of a free trade zone with Ukraine, following the start of a EU-Ukraine trade association agreement.
