Russia's Transport Ministry has ordered that Ukraine-registered trucks be stopped from entering in Russia, in response to growing efforts by protesters in Ukraine to block Russian trucks.
The ministry's order today comes as Ukrainian news media reported trucks being blocked by activists in at least 10 areas, along the borders with Belarus and Western countries.
The Ukrainian Cabinet has ordered the interior, foreign and trade ministries to develop a plan by tomorrow to resolve the blockages.
As tensions persist in eastern Ukraine between government forces and Russia-backed rebels, Ukraine and Russia have imposed tit-for-tat bans on food product imports on each other and cut air connections.
