"We have no choice but to go and sow. In general, we are working on the following mechanism: where we can sow, where the situation allows, we go out and work. We have sown wheat, barley; we have winter crops; we are not giving up, as it is a matter of food. I want to tell you that farmers' mood is so that we will achieve territorial integrity. We are in full coordination and have a clear understanding that the country's food security depends on what we will have in fields."
