President Vladimir Putin says that Russia’s war economy is well balanced to supply both guns and butter, but the price of butter itself is now soaring as surging inflation distorts parts of the economy.
The price of a block of butter has risen by 25.7% since December, according to the state statistics service.
Reuters reporters found shopping bills showed the price of a pack of “Brest-Litovsk” high-grade butter in Moscow has risen by 34% since the start of the year to 239.96 roubles ($2.47).
“The Armageddon with butter is escalating; we wouldn’t be surprised if butter repeats last year’s situation with eggs,” economists on Russia’s popular MMI Telegram channel warned, referring to an earlier spike in egg prices which alarmed consumers.
The steep price rise has prompted a spate of butter thefts at some supermarkets, according to Russian media, and some retailers have started putting individual blocks of butter inside plastic containers to deter shoplifting.

Reliable reports show the russkies running roughshod over the Ukie defenses, but the media focuses on butter and phantom NK soldiers.
This is what we call election propaganda. Things are so bad for the dems they cannot allow yet another of their failures be highlighted so close to the election, so the MSM puts out this claptrap.
BTW, I’d bet the average russkie lady knows how to make her own butter anyway.
Sure you voted for Trump, not! He is going to shut down the globohomo and ar and bring peace and I have no doubt you voted for Kamalalamadingdong.
Sympathy for the victims of inflation enacted by usurers and corrupt politicians.
America has a $41T debt. I.e. outstanding bond payments to the bond holders. Anyone really think that debt is going to get paid back with affordable living standards, liberty and freedom?
Where’s your “I Voted” sticker, Boris?
She no longer has to emulate the common lamprey.
I think our butter prices have gone up 100%. Not a peep out of the lamestream.
A pound of crappy butter here is nearing $6.
But soon, when the nukes start flying, there simply won’t be any to buy, nor anyone to buy it if there were some.
Where’s your “I Voted” sticker, Mishka?
Biden did the US one better and hit us with a doubling of prices. That damn Putin is a mere piker when it comes to screwing his constitutes with food prices. Someday, the Russians will be able to study how Biden managed the US economy and all we complained about was a mere 25% price hike in Moscow.... We dumb Americans are more concerned with Russian’s paying 25% more when our prices doubled. This type of propoganda is why the Democrats are losing the election to Trump, and the war with Russia.
It's up your Kammunist-supporting keester, where I put it to remind you that your Harris and your Walz are Communists.
What Selidovo doink?
Funny how all the Putin propagandists are making excuses for not voting. At least Scott Ritter has an excuse since he’s a convicted felon.
Funny how all the FR Harris Ukie propagandists are changing the subject to stolen Russian butter and North Koreans to distract from the Russian cauldron around Kurakhovo.
At least some of them have an excuse for hiding, since they're too embarrassed to post trolling distraction pieces about butter and eggs and floods and Norks and the Black Sea.
Don’t invade a sovereign country and you’ll have all the butter you need..... plus good working relationships with other countries.
GTH deep state troll.
Where’s your “I Voted” sticker?
Zeepers are stupid propagandizing scum working for the leftist Biden Regime.

What a dumb question. You ask it like we are in the same room together and that I can just whip it out in response to your question. Stupid clown.
He likes it when his Timmy Walz whips it out in response to his Harris vote.
