Moscow has formally imposed a ban on imports of meat, fish, milk and fruit from the United States, European Union, Australia, Canada and Norway. Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said Russia was also ready to introduce protective measures in aviation, car building and other industries, news agency RIA Novosti reported. The move follows the latest round of sanctions by the U.S. And EU that targeted entire sectors of the Russian economy.
