Russia (Reuters) – Russia warned the top poultry supplier, the United States, it will insist that Washington observe Moscow’s new safety rules, but will accept shipments cleared by the customs before January 19.
Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said on Thursday Moscow will find alternative poultry import sources if Washington does not stick to the regulations.
