Furious Russians have been shown bitterly complaining about the soaring cost of groceries in a revealing clip which underlines the parlous state of the nation’s economy almost three years in Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine.
And the clip, uploaded to X by a Russian blogger and shared by among others former Ukrainian Interior Ministerial adviser Anton Geraschenko, demonstrated that ordinary Russians are feeling the pinch.
In it, the narrator says: “Oh my God! Shaving foam costs 570 rubles [£4.39] already. What a horror. A couple of months ago I bought it for only 250 rubles [£1.77].”
He then asks one woman: “Do you believe the prices will go down next year?”
She replies: “No. Have they ever gone down? Next year will be the year of default.”
The narrator then points out Bell peppers priced at 570 rubles (£4.39) per kilogram and orange peppers costing 700 rubles (£5.38) per kilo.
He adds: "Sunflower oil, a nightmare! 150 rubles per bottle. Where are we going?
“Butter costs 650 rubles per 360 grams.”
Another woman adds: “Prices are going up, wages are not. Nothing good is happening.”
A third adds: “No tomatoes, no cucumbers, cattle: nobody grows anything. The country is gone.”

Amazing that some freepers just watched the Gaslight Media in action for three months gaslighting for kamaLOL! - and they don’t see the very same Gaslight Media gaslighting them for three years on The Ukraine...
What a bullcrap. Bell peppers are indeed expensive in Russia in that time of the year. Going to be ten times less in August. The rest is a bunch of baloney.
