The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has suspended foreign economic activities of 243 Russian companies that have been cooperating with commercial structures in the temporary occupied territories in Donbass, eastern Ukraine, the SBU press center reported.
“During the checks, the special service officers found out that most of these Russian companies also legally cooperated with Ukraine. They are not the subjects to the provisions of the Ukrainian president’s decree “On using the personal special economic and other restrictive measures (sanctions), imposed by a decision of the National Security and Defense Council”, reads the report.
The SBU sent the materials to the Economic Development and Trade Ministry. According to the experts, Ukrainian producers can fully compensate for the Russian imports. Therefore, a decision was taken to suspend foreign economic activities of these Russian companies. (Ukrinform/Business World Magazine)
