Russia Bans Meat, Fish, Dairy, Fruits, & Vegetable Imports from U.S, Canada, EU, Others

Russia has banned meat, fish, dairy, fruits, and vegetable imports
from the United States, European Union, Canada, Norway, and Australia.

This move is Russia's way of retaliating against countries that
imposed sanctions on Moscow for the country's support of the
annexation of Crimea and rebels in eastern Ukraine, Reuters reports.

Approved by Russian president, Vladimir Putin, the ban starts today,
August 7th, and will last for one year.
