Context. Russia imposed sanctions against Ukraine on January 1, 2016. They include customs duties and a food embargo—the import of beef, pork, vegetables and fruits, poultry, fish, cheese, milk and most types of dairy products was banned from Ukraine. In November 2020, Russia extended these sanctions until December 31, 2021.
On May 28, 2021, Belarus also imposed restrictions on the import of Ukrainian goods. In this way Minsk responded to the suspension of airline service with Belarus by Ukraine due to the forced landing of the Ryanair airliner and the arrest of opposition leader Roman Protasevich.
