Banned products entering Crimea through Ukraine will not be destroyed yet, the head of the Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance (Rosselkhoznadzor), Sergei Dankvert said.
“That which is being imported into Crimea today does not particularly have relation to sanctioned countries. If one approaches this as if goods are being imported into Crimea from Ukraine, then it will be very problematic for us. What one can do today on one border is not necessarily the same as what one can do on another border. It is not possible to compare the conditions that our border is functioning under from one location to another,” he told reporters in Simferopol on Aug. 5.
Right now that which is banned and being imported into Crimea from Ukraine is being partially destroyed. “We will now discuss what to further do with it,” he said during a break from a meeting on issues of countermeasures against threats to the security of Crimea, which is being conducted in Simferopol by Secretary of the Russian Security Council Nikolai Patrushev.
