"We continue the sanctions pressure against the Russian Federation. This resolution is another of the many tools of economic influence. We understand that sanctions are a means not only of responding to a military threat, but also of preventing aggression in the future. I want to state that since the beginning of the war, the export of goods to the Russian Federation was de facto stopped. Now it is fixed at the legal level," said First Deputy Prime Minister - Minister of Economy Yuliya Svyridenko.

According to the government's forecasts, such a decision will not have negative economic consequences.
