State Committee of Veterinary Medicine of Ukraine reported that the Russian Federation faces a complicated epizootic situation, and as a result African swine fever threatens eastern regions of Ukraine. If Ukraine is faced to this problem, it will not be able to export agricultural products, particularly grain, and within the 20-kilometer zone from the place of detection of the disease all the pigs will have to be killed.
