Agriculture Minister of Russia Alexander Tkachev has approved the proposal of the Federal Customs Service to toughen punishment for smuggling of sanctions products up to imprisonment.
"Why not? There are severe laws in respect of smugglers all over the world. If you broke the rules, you won’t be able to visit the country for decades. We are defending rights of our people,’’ RBC cites his statement in an interview for Russia 24.
