Russia will pour Africa some water and give it a snack

Russia will export vodka to South Africa.

South African Vice President Paul Mashatile announced this at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.

"We have a business council between Russia and South Africa, where we discuss what can be imported from Russia. And just yesterday, colleagues told me that an agreement was signed on the import of Russian vodka to South Africa and to the African continent as a whole," Mashatile said.

Russian President Vladimir Putin noted that “vodka will help the world live more joyfully.”

"This is a very correct and serious step. Because if you drink vodka, you need to have something to eat with it. This will most likely be followed by deliveries of meat products or grain," Putin said.
