Russia faced a shortage of chicken meat due to the shelling of the Belgorod region. The Moscow Times writes about it.

The lack of these products was shown by the monitoring of the analytical agency AD Limited.

In addition, this was confirmed by the interlocutor of the newspaper in one of the federal retail chains..

" The region is the leading poultry producer in Russia, according to Rosstat,"

From January to April 2023, Russia produced 2.17 million tons of poultry in live weight, with the Belgorod region accounting for 12.1% (264,400 tons).

Recall that in the Belgorod region of Russia, the last days are especially restless. In addition to the daily bombing of various objects in the region, the situation is aggravated by the Freedom of Russia legion and members of the Russian Volunteer Corps..

Fighting on the side of Ukraine, these units, formed from Russian citizens, are conducting an operation on the territory of the Belgorod region to create a “safety zone” there to protect civilian Ukrainians.
