There will be no reduction in supplies of Belarusian meat and dairy products to the Russian Federation, Minister of Agriculture Semyon Shapiro told reporters today.

"We are working with our Russian colleagues in accordance with the decisions made, within the volume and range of products, and we strive to meet their requirements and fulfill contractual obligations in a timely manner," the minister noted.
