Crimean vice president discourages Ukraine from imposing sanctions on peninsula

Crimean Vice Prime Minister Dmitry Polonsky said that Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko's idea to impose sanctions on Crimean authorities was not the wisest idea, considering that Ukraine had high debts to pay Russia for energy and food, RIA Novosti reports.

Polonsky said that Crimea had nothing to fear, including Poroshenko's warnings about social, economic and other sanctions.
