The dictator recognized the scarcity of this product.

Lukashenko instructed Peter Parkhomchik, head of Brest voblast, to grow enough potatoes for both Belarus and Russia.

At the same time, he called the issue of potato shortage very serious, BelTA writes.

"There's a lot of talk. Especially after the meeting with the Russian President, where he made a joke about potatoes. But this is a very serious issue for us. In what way? We know how to grow potatoes. We need to grow enough potatoes for us and Russia," said Lukashenko.

He added that Belarus should help Russia to cope with the deficit of the vegetable.
