Vladimir Putin had an exchange about cheese with Stefan Duerr, the founder and CEO of EkoNiva, during a televised government-business forum on October 15, 2026. EkoNiva is a Russian agricultural holding company known for being the country’s top raw milk producer, with over 120,000 dairy cows across more than 40 regions. While Duerr was speaking, Putin recalled a time when he received cheese from him. Duerr initially denied sending any cheese but later acknowledged that it was from their Voronezh factory. Kremlin-controlled media outlets reported on Putin's recommendation of the cheese but omitted the confusing details of the exchange.

In related news, the Ukrainian military reported that it had damaged or destroyed six Su-34M bombers at the Borisoglebsk military airfield in Voronezh Oblast, Russia. The strike was carried out using the Neptune missile system, resulting in additional damage to technical equipment at the airfield. Each Su-34M bomber is valued at approximately $36 million, according to GlobalMilitary.net.
