May 23, Fineko/abc.az. Ukraine is likely to ban the import of medicines from Russia and Belarus, ABC.AZ reports with reference to Ukrainian online publication Strana.

The Verkhovna Rada approved a bill prohibiting the import of medicines from Russia and Belarus.

Ukraine has already imposed a ban on the import of medicines from Russia. Nevertheless, according to the authors of the initiative, medicines produced at Russian enterprises can still get into the country.
