MOSCOW, July 1 – Russia has lifted almost all the restrictions on poultry imports from Ukraine starting from July 1, Rosselkhoznadzor, the agricultural watchdog, told Interfax.

However, only separate Ukrainian companies will be allowed to bring their products to Russia.

"Only enterprises certified by the Russian service, those which meet our requirements, will be able to export both raw materials and finished products to Russia," Rosselkhoznadzor Head Sergei Dankvert told Interfax.
