The sum of investment for the next four years is valued at 500 million, Borisov was quoted as saying. Ports in Crimea, which Russia annexed from Ukraine in 2014, have exported the Black Sea peninsula's surplus of grain to the port of Tartus in recent years to ensure Assad's Syria has a reliable source of food. Moscow will also begin delivering 100,000 tons of grain in humanitarian aid to Syria by the end of December supplies that will continue until the second quarter, he said. (news.financializer.com).
