Russia to deliver wheat and oil derivatives to Lebanon (+Photo)

Beirut, Feb 9 (Prensa Latina) Russia will deliver free supplies of wheat and petroleum products to Lebanon, Alexander Rudakov, Eurasian ambassador to the Levantine nation, confirmed today.

Authorities from both States are working to coordinate the transport of these products, in response to the Lebanese government’s call to face the economic, financial and social crisis.

Moscow offers its support to Lebanon in light of difficult circumstances and will always listen to proposals on fruitful projects for the countries, the diplomat said.

Last October, Russia donated 10,000 tons of fuel and 25,000 tons of wheat to Lebanon.

The devaluation of the national currency, the banking collapse and the high prices of basic necessities exacerbate the economic crisis that currently places four out of five citizens in poverty.
