Prime Minister Vladimir Putin chairs a meeting of the Government Presidium
“The abnormally hot summer hit rural regions very hard. First there was an extremely cold and almost snowless winter, and now the drought. Of course, we will not leave agricultural producers to deal with this massive problem on their own. The situation is very serious. <…> We do have a safety net. The reserves we have accumulated over the years allow us to maintain a stable agricultural sector and to fully meet the domestic demand for grain.”
"It is absolutely critical that we maintain our macroeconomic stability. This is currently one of our major competitive advantages, a resource to spur development, attract long-term investment and stimulate business. We need a highly responsible and stable budget. We cannot afford to spend more than we earn."
