Russian President Vladimir Putin mocked Britain over the vegetable crisis.
According to foreign media, Vladimir Putin suggested that the West should come to Russia for vegetables amid a major crisis.
Russia’s president has reportedly mocked a UK minister for advising people to eat turnips after sanctions failed to bring down Russia’s economy.
Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed that Russia’s economy is stable despite Western sanctions due to the war in Ukraine.
He said Western countries themselves are suffering from problems where their leaders advise citizens to use turnips instead of lettuce or tomatoes.
Vladimir Putin added that turnips are a good thing, but they may have to come to Russia for turnips because our harvest is much higher than that of our neighbors in Europe.
According to foreign media, this statement of the Russian President was actually a reference to the statement of British Environment Minister Therese Coffey.
The British minister recently advised his people to eat turnips due to the shortage of various vegetables.
