Russian government sends notices to farmers outlining their wartime duties

Private farms in the Kaluga region of Russia have been notified that during wartime they will be required to supply products for state needs, Meduza news website reports.

In particular, in the Zhukovsky district, the notifications were signed by the head of the district administration, Anatoliy Suyarko.

The document says that "in accordance with the approved mobilization plan of the municipal district," farms "in wartime will be involved in the supply of goods (work, services) for public needs in accordance with the types of products" that they produce.

"The directors of the farms need to sign that they are aware of this notification and send the second signed copy to the Civil Defense and Emergency Department by the end of July," Meduza reports.

According to the head of the Department of Civil Defense and Emergencies in the Zhukovsky district, Victor Katsykalo, "earlier such work was not carried out, but now it is being carried out," since the administration of the region gave the command to "send out instructions." He said that the notifications were sent to all organizations in the district, and all the heads signed it.

"If the farm grows grain, it is obvious that it will grow it in wartime as well," the official said, and stressed that he does not know whether the produce will be taken free of charge. He did not disclose other details, stating it was "classified."

At the same time, Anatoly Artamonov, the governor of the Kaluga region, said that he does not know anything about this and did not give any instructions of this nature.
