What happened

Russia’s grain export potential is estimated at least 60 million metric tons, which is "a good cushion," Russian President Vladimir Putin told Vesti journalist Pavel Zarubin in an interview.

Why it matters

In his words, wheat is among the main items of Ukrainian exports, but logistical problems caused by Russia’s retaliatory strikes, will not lead to a shortage on global markets.

Common ground

"As far as global problems are concerned, hardly anything will change, because, first of all, we have great export potential," Putin said.
