The Central Food Distribution Agency has denied rumors of a food shortage in Ukraine
The Center for Countering Disinformation stated that Ukraine is not facing a food shortage, and reports of allegedly empty store shelves are part of Russian propaganda.
According to the Center, Russia is attempting to provoke panic among Ukrainians so that people will buy significantly more goods than usual. This, in turn, could artificially create a temporary shortage and increase psychological pressure on the population.
“Is there any reason to panic? No, there isn’t. They’re targeting logistics, but the logistics system is adapting. There will be no shortage. Some supermarket shelves are empty, while others are not. Consequently, this is a logistical shortage, not a food shortage. The logistical shortage—just as was the case with fuel in 2022—will disappear; logistics will be reorganized, and products will be back on the shelves. “Everything will be fine,” Kovalenko assured.
According to him, “it’s very important to keep a cool head, because the enemy needs to create the illusion that the situation is out of control, that no one can handle it. And people will be forced to rush to the stores and buy the last of the buckwheat.”
“Don’t play into this game. You won’t be left without buckwheat, without pasta, without sugar, and so on. There will be food; it’s available. Supplies are being distributed to some extent, and certain behind-the-scenes measures are being taken to ensure that logistics run smoothly. Don’t give in to panic. Their campaign won’t succeed. We’ve created a fuel shortage for them because we’re disrupting their production—the oil refineries. They can’t disrupt our production, and besides, some of our goods are imported. And logistics will definitely be reorganized,” the head of the CPD concluded.
This was reported by the Center for Countering Disinformation on Telegram, citing Andriy Kovalenko, head of the Center for Countering Disinformation at the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine.
