Putin’s seven-word retort to dictator who mocked Russia’s egg shortage
Metro UK ^ | 12/26/2023 | Sarah Hooper

Vladimir Putin has been mocked by Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko over Russia’s shortage of eggs.

Mr Putin’s ally confronted him over the skyrocketing prices of the kitchen staple, with the entire exchange caught on camera at the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council session in St Petersburg.

At the event Mr Putin, 71, was also spotted bizarrely stretching his feet as he waited to greet several fellow ex-Soviet republic leaders, including Mr Lukashenko, 69.

Former farm boss Mr Lukashenko teased the Russian leader that Belarus’s agricultural industry was in better shape than Russia’s.

He said: ‘We have achieved a high level of food self-sufficiency, which in Belarus is almost 100%.

‘We cover our domestic needs in grain, pork, meat, poultry, milk, vegetables, vegetable oils – and eggs.’

Mr Putin smiled and joked: ‘Give us a little, don’t be greedy.’

Egg prices have soared more than 40% in Russia amid shortages linked to rising poultry food prices caused by the war in Ukraine – and even memes have appeared with people saying they need to be wealthy to afford eggs.

Soviet-style queues have formed and the the price for ten eggs has soared to £1.90, an astronomical amount for many Russians – especially pensioners.

This compares with an average pension of £38.49 a week.

It would be fun to do a trace on you. I’m torn b/w US based psyop or Ukraine operative. Either way, you suck. The best psyop is subtle. You can’t do that, nor the writers of the articles you post. Do better.

There was a claim in the article that egg prices are linked to Ukraine.

By whom? How is that relevant?

Supermarket with eggs in Russia. This vlogger doesn’t go back pre war so smells a bit like propaganda — though there isn’t really any question of how full the shelves are

This vlogger covering the same thing, grocery prices and how full the shelves are. Her channel goes back 3 years so probably clean.

Notice how we haven’t heard from Lukashenko since this outburst, nor the journalist who wrote this story, nor anyone else who criticized Putin, because THEY ARE ALL DEAD now.

Face it, Russian sycophants, Putin KILLS everyone who presents even the slightest criticism. He is a MONSTER!!!

(and the thing is, the Ukraine Cheerleaders probably believe the above)

Sorry that the stupid, repetitive posts of idiotic Zeepers gets under my skin. The worse the war goes for the Ukraine the more we have to hear from Zeepers about random, non-war related propaganda. Putin has died of cancer at least 50 times now according to spastic Zeepers.

What's in it for him to post on FR? FR is pretty insignificant. The FBI is watching us. But that's probably it.

Poultry shortages have something to do with raging bird flu outbreaks as well, particularly in China. It likely affects us too.
