Russia appealed to Ukraine's initiative to restrict the export of pork and feed grains of the areas where there is a risk of the epidemic of African swine fever, said acting head of the state veterinary and phytosanitary service of Ukraine Oleksandr Verzhykovsky. "international law provides that the joint partners in the agricultural industry have the opportunity to introduce a ban on the export of products with a troubled area, the worst thing for Ukraine - the prohibition of the exportation of feed grains," said Verzhykovsky on the government Council on the problems of technogenic-ecological safety and emergency situations under the leadership of Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk. "citizens of Russia made two suggestions, first, that our decision has restricted the export of goods outside the troubled region. Second - we had a videoconference with the Rosselkhoznadzor and showed their actions (in the battle with the African swine fever - ed.)", He said. Thus Verzhykovsky noted correspondents that the story is about the informal statement." The official was not. This is the information from informal sources, " He added. As first reported by the newspaper " Vedomosti ", the Rosselkhoznadzor considers the possibility of a ban on the import of Ukrainian pork to the Russian Federation. Russian pork producers, for their part, according to the newspaper, also need to close the border, and to this end wrote a letter to the Minister of agriculture Alexander Tkachev. Answering specifying question, what kind of dysfunctional region is a speech, Verzhykovsky responded that " there is a risk that has the ability to be the area of the whole country." He expressed the hope that it will be closed only six areas where last year recorded cases of the disease African swine fever Is the Kiev, Chernigov, Sumy, Poltava, Rivne and Zhytomyr regions. for its part Yatsenyuk ordered the state veterinary and phytosanitary service to hold meetings with Western partners, but also with countries with which Ukraine has a joint border, for example, Belarus and Russia, during which to exchange information on the status of the disease and to take maximum precautions to keep the spread of the disease was stopped.
