On July 23, the aggressor-controlled “Crimean media” decided to add another “optimism” regarding the supposed “breakthrough of Crimean products into European markets”, using the example of the business of collaborator Alexander Brezhnev and his “firm” “Honey Dew” (“Medovaya Rosa”) from the village of Tabachne (Chisin), producing sweeteners from grown stevia.
The corresponding “interview” is characterized not so much by a gritted admission that Brezhnev uses the Ukrainian variety of stevia “Bereginya” for cultivation, and not even by the fact that this food additive is allegedly exported from his workshop to Kaliningrad for further smuggling and sale on the territory of the European Union, where, by the way, it is not considered as absolutely safe one.
What is noteworthy here is that despite the smuggling business of food additives apparently covered by the Russian special services, Brezhnev complains that “there is no stevia in the register of Russian agricultural crops,” and therefore he allegedly does not receive formal support “from the state,” and the market “is won by the Chinese, which are the main supplier of stevioside and rebaudioside – these are the two constituents of stevia.”
At the same time, from the “interview” it is obvious, that the only Brezhnev workshop in the territory controlled by the aggressor, producing “six tons of aqueous stevia extract per month,” could not exist on commercial terms, since “growing stevia on the peninsula is quite expensive, since this plant is harvested only once once in the fall.”
Therefore, it is quite interesting what other “interesting food additives” Brezhnev’s terrorist handlers from the Russian special services intend to smuggle from Tabachne through Kaliningrad to the EU territory.
