I think I see what you mean Za.

That figure of 10% applies "only" to lend lease food going to the Soviet military, Russia could comfortably feed the Red army from their own resources for as long as the war lasted.

In other words lend lease food, although the numbers look very impressive, [and were impressive] was in no way vital for the Red army.
