From 7th August Russia will impose a ban of imports from U.S , European Union, Canada, Norway and Australia the PM Dmitry Medvedev has told a cabinet meeting in Moscow. This follows a decree from President Putin of banning imports from countries that have imposed sanctions on Russia for its support of eastern Ukraine rebels and the annexation of Crimea.
The animosity between the Federation of Russia and US and its allies has escalated over the past few months since the Ukraine turmoil that saw the annexation of Crimea.
The most recent tussle was the downing of Malaysian aircraft MH117 allegedly by pro-Russian rebels that saw a blame game script between Russian and Ukraine. The US sent very strong messages and thereafter imposed sanction on Putin's led government.
All the unfolding between Russia and US are being viewed as a revival of the Cold War.
