In the Pskov region, breeding cows of German origin were returned to the sender due to restrictions from Rosselkhoznadzor

Since January 15, 2025, ROSSELKHOZNADZOR has introduced temporary restrictions on the import of cattle from Germany due to the worsening epizootic situation with foot-and-mouth disease. Since January 20, 2025, certification of all animals susceptible to foot-and-mouth disease and products obtained from them, transported from the EU to RUSSIA, has also been suspended.

The measures introduced mean that the import of breeding animals into the customs territory of the EAEU is prohibited. As a result, a declaration was issued for the return of the cargo, and the animals were sent back to the adjacent territory.
