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.

I do not think so.
This USA interference has caused hundreds of thousands of lives.
There’s a time for war and a time for peace. The time for peace is when President Trump is back in office. Would you trust a Biden peace deal?
We did not have war until the Democrats stole the WH.
They had to have it back at all costs.
They did it.
Now the world is on fire.
The “Love of Money” is quite powerful.
You’re right. I just don’t want Biden and Blinken negotiating the peace deal. It should be President Trump and his team and that’s still a year away. Until then, continue to demilitarize Russia.
The Russia campaign is all about the NWO.
ChatAPI comes to FR.
Marcus, you are no stoically minded Aurelius.
At its core, Ukraine is a DSC CIA-base of bio-labs, that lob missiles onto other Ukrainians.
BINGO!

What I find fascinating is that for all your complaining about “zeeper” posts, you , Jon, world,kazan…. 0ften make up the majority of the replies.
I generally read threads posted by anti uke types, occasionally post a reply, and sometimes get involved in some back and forths, but not nearly to the extent of you folks
I does get under your skin, believe me I appreciate that part
No wonder they do the Zeeper dance every time a Daily Mail ukie-I tell-prop article is posted!
Or, as ZuZu said…
“Teacher says, ‘Every time a Daily Mail Article is posted, the Zeepers start to dance!’”
