That concludes the live blogging for tonight.
This is happening Friday:
European Union foreign ministers will hold an emergency meeting on August 15 to discuss EU's response to the ongoing conflicts in Iraq and Ukraine.
Courtney Weaver, the deputy Moscow bureau chief for the Financial Times, is in the Russian city of Voronezh.
Our news desk wraps together the Strelkov stuff. (Still no clarity though.)
The condition of Igor Strelkov, the so-called defense minister of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic (DNR) in eastern Ukraine, is unclear.
The separatist website novoroinform.com posted a brief message on August 13 saying there was information Strelkov had been badly wounded but the report did not say where or when this happened and added, "We would be happy if the information provided turns out to be wrong or exaggerated."
Officials connected with the DNR gave different accounts.
Denis Pushilin posted a video on YouTube in which he said he had heard reports Strelkov was seriously wounded but could not confirm that information yet.
Pushilin was the self-styled chairman of the DNR's supreme council but he resigned in mid-July and is believed to be in Russia.
Spokesman for the DNR Defense Ministry Vyacheslav Brig dismissed the reports as "nonsense" and said the reports were a deliberate attempt at disinformation.
In short, no clarity at all on Strelkov injury story.
Just ITAR-TASS reporting so far:
Less Ukrainian booze on Russian shelves:
Russia's food safety watchdog has suspended imports of certain types of Ukrainian-made alcoholic drinks.
Rospotrebnadzor said on August 13 that imports of Ukrainian-made vodka, beer and beer-related drinks will be suspended starting on August 15 because of "repeated violations" of legal requirements.
The move comes just one day after the Ukrainian parliament, in a first reading on August 12, backed a bill to impose sanctions on Russian companies and individuals for supporting pro-Russian separatists battling government forces in eastern Ukraine.
Russia has already suspended imports of a number of food products from Ukraine.
It has also imposed restrictions on imports of food from Western nations that have imposed sanctions on Russia over the Ukraine crisis.
