Russia is facing a "butter armageddon" as prices for the staple food product continue to rise sharply.
By the end of October, prices for dairy products in Russia had risen by an astonishing 25.7% compared to December 2023.
The steep hike in cost has led to a spate of thefts from shops around the country, forcing management to keep the product under lock and key.
Images have circulated on social media, showing butter locked in fridges and signs telling customers to contact staff if they want to buy some.
A CCTV video posted online also allegedly shows a Russian man stealing 25 packets of butter from a Pyaterochka supermarket in Moscow.
When confronted by a shop assistant, a fight breaks out as the man tries to make a run for it.

Maybe they can put butter behind a glass wall so no one can steal it like we do in America
I guess as long as its under 950 rubles its okay?
Its the day before US elections, and Marcus is putting out his most hyperbolic BS to get people to the polls for Harris and the Deep State.
Funny how the Putin groupies are in a panic over the impending return of President Trump.
I’m sure they could cover that story about how many Supermarkets in the USA are robbed, how many drugstores, stores of every kind are robbed in the cities.
Would be a revealing story for the Press and the public woh have a right to know.
Russians have much in common with the urban youths in your video.
“astonishing 25.7%”

Trump blames Ukraine's Zelenskiy for starting war with Russia
“Guns and butter” is an economic model that describes the trade-off between a country’s investment in defense and civilian goods:
Guns: Military spending, such as national security programs
Butter: Spending on civilian goods, such as education, healthcare, and infrastructure
The model illustrates the idea that a country’s limited resources mean it can’t spend as much on both defense and civilian goods. For example, if a country increases its defense spending, it may have to reduce spending on civilian goods.
The phrase “guns and butter” is often used to describe the challenges of war and defense spending negotiations. It may have originated during World War I when Secretary of State William Bryan resigned in protest.
The phrase was also used in Irving Bernstein’s history of the Lyndon Johnson presidency, Guns and Butter 2.0, to describe Johnson’s failure to manage the trade-off between defense and civilian spending
