The Ukrainian government will decide at a meeting on Wednesday to restrict the supply of goods and services to and from Crimea. The decision will take effect 30 days after it is made.

"It is prohibited to supply works, goods and services in every customs regime with the exception of personal belongings, socially significant foodstuffs and humanitarian aid," Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk said as he was opening the government's meeting on Wednesday.

A decision to continue power supply to Crimea will be made by the National Security and Defense Council, he said.
