Initiated by Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk, the traffic of cargo on the administrative border between Ukraine and the Autonomous Republic of Crimea has been suspended by the Ukrainian Government. The decision was taken on Monday, November 23, at an extraordinary session of the Government.

Arseniy Yatsenyuk instructed the Cabinet of Ministers supervised by the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade of Ukraine, following the law, to draft a directive of the Government containing a specific list of goods, works and services that can be delivered to the Autonomous Republic of Crimea.

"Provided that such a list of products should meet the interests of Ukraine in the first place, I propose to attract the Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People to ensure that this decision takes into account the interests of our brotherly Crimean Tatar People as well", stressed the Head of Government.
