Oleksandr Turchynov’s comment on anti-Ukrainian sanctions of the Russian Federation

Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Oleksandr Turchynov commented on the imposition of anti-Ukrainian sanctions during air defense military exercises taking place near the Crimea.

"Information on Russia's imposition of sanctions against Ukraine caught me at the military proving  ground in the south of our country near the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, where large-scale air defense military exercises are taking place", - Mr. Turchynov said. - In my opinion, there is only one possible comment on these Russian sanctions - they tried to scare donkey with a carrot. That's it".

Today, Russia has introduced special economic measures for 322 Ukrainian citizens and 68 companies.
