Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said on Thursday he had signed two governmental resolutions yesterday to start supplying grain from the state intervention fund to Russian regions affected by this year's abnormal heat and drought.
"We will separately send the necessary volume of feed grain to the regions, which need to support their cattle breeding while food grain will be sent to Moscow, St. Petersburg, the Moscow and Leningrad regions. The work will start in the nearest future. The documents have been signed and will be released today," Putin told an annual question-and-answer session.
