It's quite the PR disaster, though. People in Russia don't really understand why food should be burned when you could just give it to the poor instead.

Yeah that seems really odd in a poor country where there are millions of people struggling.

There are homeless people everywhere in Saint Petersburg who could use that food

what an ass-hat.

The Russian president has ordered authorities to destroy all banned Western food smuggled into the country.

But Russian food producers and farmers have complained the embargo is not being enforced properly.

The government says banned products are still finding their way onto Russian supermarket shelves even after shipments are sent back at the border.

And it isn't even working.

Might be a translation problem here. And Russia is just a crappy cook.

?

According to footage shown on state television, authorities have already begun the process.

yeah, Putin is really not doing himself any favors with this. his haters dont need any more reasons to hate him, but even his followers, so-called kremlebots, see this as stupid and unnecessary.
sure, confiscate the food that was smuggled in, but destroy it? the Russia's ban is meant to hurt western food manufacturers, and it does many of them, but in this case whoever sold the food already got their money. confiscating it hurts Russian businessmen who bought it. now distribute it to families in need or foster homes ffs.

It is alright. Russians will learn to love Chizzi cheddar from Moscow and red cheese from Belarus, or maybe not.

Cheese and meat smuggling remains as lucrative as ever though!

A man attempted to drive from Poland into the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad with 460 kilogrammes of cheese stuffed in the trunk and backseat of his car, the customs service said.

Last August, Russian border guards confiscated 70 kg of French meat p

Always good idea to destroy food when your people are starving, it's like nothing bad has ever happened in history because of that

[2DUM2TAP]

Yes... destroy food when people are starving....

Politics and business just don't give a shit about actual human beings.
