KIEV (Reuters) - Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk said on Monday Ukraine would respond in kind to any trade bans by Russia, which plans to introduce a ban on Ukrainian food imports over Kiev's participation in Western sanctions.

"There will be an analogous Ukrainian decision to launch an embargo against Russia to every Russian decision to launch an embargo against Ukraine," Yatseniuk said.
