MOSCOW, May 21 (Reuters) - Russia's main grain industry lobby said on Thursday the seizure of wheat shipments in Egypt was "provocative" and aimed at damaging Russian exports.
"The reports on the seizures of grain and involvement of the Egyptian prosecutor's office in the investigation are evidently of a provocative character and recall the worst examples of black PR, used when somebody is unable to compete honestly," the Russian Grain Union said in a statement on its Web site.
