Russia first imposed restrictions on the supply of European and American fish into the country in 2014 in response to sanctions imposed by some Western countries on the country's seafood sector as a result of the its annexation of Crimea. — Russia first imposed restrictions on the supply of European and American fish into the country in 2014 in response to sanctions imposed by some Western countries on the country's seafood sector as a result of the its annexation of Crimea.Photo: Anders Furuset
