Belarus needs to provide itself with more apples, says Lukashenko

Belarusian President Lukashenko visited a farm in the Minsk region and urged local farmers to increase apple production to reduce reliance on imported apples and prevent teasing from neighbors like Poland. He wants Belarus to become self-sufficient in apple production. The president's comments come after Ilan Shor, leader of the political bloc "Victory," reported that Moldovan fruits and vegetables have been reintroduced to the Russian market.
