Ukrainian First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economic Development and Trade Stepan Kubiv has denied any influence of possible Russian sanctions against Ukrainian individuals and legal entities on the country's economy.

"Given that we banned any trade with the aggressor, and we will continue this way, their mirror sanctions will not affect the Ukrainian economy in any way," he said at a press briefing on Thursday, while answering to a question from the Interfax-Ukraine news agency.

Earlier, Russian media reported that Russia was preparing a list of restrictive measures against several hundred individuals and about a hundred legal entities in Ukraine.
