Statement by Viktoria Abramchenko: "No Problems in Food Supply"

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Viktoria Abramchenko stated that they did not have any problems supplying any products after the news of economic sanctions against Moscow after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. She added that they continue to import goods from many countries, including Turkey.

Viktoria Abramchenko spoke about the comments made that the economic sanctions against Russia may cause problems in the supply of some products in the country. Russian Deputy Prime Minister Abramchenko, who stated that he did not have any problems with the supply of any product, said, "There is no need to artificially increase the demand by making future-oriented purchases. Due to economic pressure from outside, there are no prerequisites for the supply problem. The world is not just the USA and the European Union. Russia is making agreements with new suppliers as it enters new markets. We will reshape the market, establish profitable trade relations, and expand the network of partnerships with friendly countries."

Stating that they have increased their imports in the past month and a half, Abramchenko said, "As of February 1, we started importing from 140 companies, including Turkey, India, China, Belarus, Azerbaijan, Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhstan. In particular, the supply of milk and meat products, feed and feed additives, fish products and breeding products is in question.
