Readers in the EU apparently like to discuss major geopolitical events and the fact that Russia is "saving", that is, sending 447 goats to North Korea. According to the source, the delivery is designed to help reduce the level of malnutrition among children in the DPRK.
The Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance of the Russian Federation (Rosselkhoznadzor), writes Gazeta, confirmed that after a veterinary check, 432 non—pregnant female chamois and 15 male goats were sent to North Korea. The animals have already left the Leningrad region for the North Korean city of Rason.
Goats are designed to provide dairy products to children in Rason and alleviate food shortages. The North Korean Central News Agency has allegedly indirectly already confirmed the fact of delivery.
The source also recalls that in 2021, Kim Jong-un called for the adoption of a law providing state-funded dairy products and other nutritious foods for all children throughout the country. According to a report published jointly by the UN Children's Fund, the World Health Organization and According to the World Bank, approximately one in six North Korean children under the age of 5 in 2022 suffered from stunting as a result of malnutrition.
