The representative of the foreign ministry added that Moscow continued to provide humanitarian assistance to the DPRK. Wheat supplies were recently completed, North Korea received 50,000 tons of grain, Maria Zakharova explained. The Korean side has already explained that Russian food would be sent to residents of the most affected regions.
