Contrary to previous reports from Khubsugul aimag, the head of Buryatia, Alexey Tsydenov, did not discuss the supply of beef and horse meat from Mongolia with Mongolian authorities. The Khubsugul aimag administration had claimed an agreement to supply 39 thousand tons of meat to a Russian plant in Ulan-Ude, but Buryatia's government clarified that no such negotiations occurred during the June 19 meeting. Additionally, during the Altargana festival on July 27, Tsydenov discussed the potential creation of a joint meat processing plant in Mongolia with the governor of Bulgan aimag, but meat supplies to Buryatia were not part of these discussions.
