Applause 650 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Moscow (CNN) -- Russian President Vladimir Putin has named a new target as global sparring over Ukraine grows: food. In a decree signed Wednesday, Putin banned food and agricultural imports from countries that have imposed sanctions against his country. Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev spelled out some of the details on Thursday. Medvedev said that Russia has imposed a ban on supplies of beef, pork, fruit, vegetables, poultry, fish, cheeses and milk from the European Union, the United States, Australia, Canada and Norway. The retaliatory move comes more than a week after the United States and European Union increased economic sanctions on Moscow for supporting pro-Russian separatists fighting Ukraine government forces in the eastern regions of Donetsk and Luhansk, along the border with Russia. A list of specific products and food bans is still being worked out by the Russian government, according to the decree, which describes the order as a special economic measure "aimed at ensuring the security of the Russian Federation."

VISION 52 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Well..what do you want? Western countries have applied many sanctions against Russia, Russia answers with these bans. As a result, many European economies will suffer, and Russian economy will suffer too. It shows how interconnected they have been Cold War 2.0 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Applause 650 Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 Why did they drag Norway into this? They were involved in the sanctions against Russia, in some way. The European Union, the United States, Australia, Canada and Norway. More are to be added. I think Japan as well.. but that's if they decided to ban flights. Which they are considering.

Yeah I read it but Norway is not included in the European Union nor have they been involved in any of this unless Norway themselves also sanctioned Russia.

They must of. Probably something small compared to the US + EU sized ones, but something that annoyed Russia at the very least. Xalser Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAMROD 117,823 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Is that basically means them Russians will eat oils?? All good foods are from Europe and North America. No more Italian foods?

I asked my Swedish boyfriend to check what that's about. According to him it has something to do with the territorial waters that border Russia and Norway and that they are always on eachothers throat about it. Norway hunts whales and has oil and always on Russias doorstep and Russia on their turn will send military planes to fly over their ships as intimidation. It's basically a show off who has the biggest D in that area. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didymus 34,380 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Understandable and expected. The sanctions against Russia are very dubious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
