Ukraine, to People’s Commissar for Food Vladimirov  
The order for 10,000 poods of refined sugar to Petrovsk-Port, dated 28 February, No. 12801, is to be fulfilled immediately, given the importance of the exchange with Persia for the rice already procured.

I request a detailed and precise telegraphic report on its fulfilment*.
