Putin called for a “more prudent attitude” to the export of food to unfriendly countries.
Some time ago, Western countries that are on the list of states unfriendly to Russia announced their intentions to nationalize Russian enterprises based in the West.
However, Russian President Vladimir Putin responded by saying that the mechanism of nationalization of assets is available not only to European politicians.
Putin explained that today there is an attempt by Russian partners to hold Russia responsible for their own mistakes in the field of economy and energy, and, as a result, to solve these problems also at Russian expense.
The Head of State reminded that in this way it is possible to go far.
“Let no one forget that a double-edged weapon”, – said the president.
The Russian leader also spoke on the development of agriculture in the EU.
It is known that because of soaring gas prices, fertilizer is not just expensive to produce there, but also unprofitable.
Moreover, this is the result of the actions of the West against Russia, in particular, attempts to suppress the Russian Gazprom, Putin pointed out.
However, even in such conditions, Russia will not move to licensing the export of fertilizers for some time, as this may cause damage to someone.
The Russian president also explained that the authorities will now clearly work out the issue of selling fertilizers abroad, since the needs in the domestic market should be a priority.
“We have no desire to harm anyone, in any case. We just need to deal with everything carefully: with logistics, and with insurers. This is a deficit today, the deficit will be taken. They will! No one wants to die of hunger,” Putin said.
For all these reasons, Putin called in 2022 to be more careful about the supply of products abroad, especially to “unfriendly countries.”
Food self—sufficiency is a real competitive advantage of Russia, and it should work in the interests of our citizens,” the President stressed.
