As a German you know that a regime is on the brink of collapse if it has to restrict banana imports.
I never thought that this running gag would be relevant again..
Russia's Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Supervision (Rosselkhoznadzor) announced on Feb. 3 that it is banning imports from five Ecuadorian banana companies, claiming that a disease had been discovered in previous shipments.
Entirely understandable. Wouldn't want Russia's vast banana plantations to become infected. /s
