Putin begs other countries for spuds


Recommended Posts

Posted

Vladimir Putin has made a direct request to his Belarusian neighbor for a supply of potatoes, as Russia grapples with a surprising shortage of the staple crop—despite it being widely cultivated in the country.

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko agreed to send shipments of potatoes to Moscow and has even lifted sanctions on potato imports from the European Union to help meet demand.

However, in parallel with this request, Belarus will not yet receive the Oreshnik missiles previously promised by the Kremlin. The country, which already hosts Russian missiles on its territory, will have to wait until later this year.

No potatoes for Russia from the EU! Let them eat dogs (and possibly cats).
