The Russian government is ready to introduce protective measures in aircraft building, shipbuilding and the automobile industry.
Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said this at a government meeting on Thursday, ITAR-TASS reported.
“We are potentially ready to introduce protective measures in aircraft building, shipbuilding, automobile, and other sectors, but we will be doing this judiciously,” Medvedev said.
He said that the government understands how significant cooperation in this area is.
“But, naturally, we realistically assess our own capabilities as well,” he said.
As reported, Russia on Thursday introduced a one-year ban on imports of beef, pork, fruit and vegetables, poultry, fish, cheeses, milk and dairy products from Australia, Canada, the EU, the United States and Norway in response to their sanctions against Moscow over the escalation of the situation in Ukraine .
Russia also announced a ban on the transit flights of Ukrainian airlines through Russian airspace to Georgia, Azerbaijan, Armenia and Turkey.
