"It was also noted that such provocative actions by Kiev will not contribute to the normalization of Russian-Ukrainian relations and will, of course, undermine the implementation of the Minsk agreement of February 12," ministry's spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told reporters.
On Wednesday, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko signed a decree sanctioning 90 legal entities and 388 individuals, mostly state officials, politicians and journalists, based in Russia and other countries. The sanctions entail year-long entry bans and asset freezes.
"On September 17, the Russian Foreign Ministry summoned Ukraine's chargé d'affaires [Ruslan] Nimchinsky, who received a strong protest in relation to yet another unfriendly act by the Ukrainian side," she added.
