Russian border guards in the Orenburg region stopped the import into the region of a large consignment of confectionery products from the Roshen corporation of Petro Poroshenko, which was included in the Russian sanctions list, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The report of the incident caused many caustic comments in Ukraine, because it turned out that Poroshenko’s company was trying to do business with Russia, despite the Ukrainian president’s election slogan “get away from Moscow!”
“The smuggling shipment of Roshen, caught by the FSB on the border of the Orenburg region, is not what you thought, not trade with the aggressor. It is the guarantor’s confectionery troops that are bringing obesity and tooth decay to the enemy,” ex-candidate for mayor of Odessa Vyacheslav Azarov sneers in his blog.
