Russia decided to help Cuba with food
Russia is working on humanitarian food supplies to Cuba.
Deputy Prime Minister Victoria Abramchenko spoke about this in an interview with RIA Novosti.
Abramchenko noted that these could be both supplies financed from the reserve fund, and commercial – lending to the poorest countries so that they can afford to buy Russian food. “The last example is the study of food supplies to Cuba, and this, again, is a humanitarian mission,” the agency’s interlocutor specified.
In December, it was reported that the Russian government allocated 800 million rubles for the purchase and supply of 25,000 tons of wheat to Cuba. The Ministry of Emergency Situations was entrusted with the purchase, delivery and transfer of humanitarian aid to the Cuban side.
