The gift will be delivered soon, the statement posted on social media said.
President Emmerson Mnangagwa is attending the Russia-Africa Summit in St Petersburg along with other African leaders.
Russia also pledged to provide free grain to Zimbabwe and five other African countries.

It is among the African countries that has maintained a neutral stance in the war in Ukraine, refusing to condemn Russia for the invasion.
