Russian lawmakers on Tuesday adopted a resolution in favour of introducing economic sanctions against Georgia as tensions between Moscow and Tbilisi rise.

Lawmakers in Russia's lower-house of parliament, the Duma, supported an appeal for the government to "impose special economic measures on Georgia, where anti-Russian provocations continue".

Duma chairman Vyacheslav Volodin said the resolution recommends banning Georgian wine and mineral water in Russia, as well as "limiting financial transactions from our country to Georgia."
