Russia, on Thursday, was ready for any largesse. Before the leaders of dozens of African countries gathered in Saint Petersburg, President Vladimir Putin said he was ready to offer 250,000 tonnes of cereals in the coming months to five countries hit by food shortages: Burkina Faso, Zimbabwe, Mali, Somalia and Central African Republic.
