Russia's inflation is so bad that potatoes cost 64% more than they did at the start of the year
Business Insider ^

Posted on 11/12/2024 5:40:21 PM PST by USA-FRANCE

But Russia's red-hot wartime economy comes with a price: inflation, which hit 9.8% in September. The price hikes are trickling down to basic food items, with prices of potatoes β€” a Russian staple β€” surging this year by 64% as of November 5, according to official statistics. Potatoes' price surge stems from bad weather and the rising cost of production amid a labor shortage and rising wages. It's not just potatoes. The data from Rosstat, Russia's federal statistics service, show that food prices have generally risen across the board this year.

In late October, economists on the MMI Telegram channel, a Russian discussion group, called the acceleration in prices "frightening."

The situation is so bad that people are stealing butter from supermarkets. Butter prices have risen by 27.5% this year.

Inflation has also hit a range of processed goods in recent months, including bread, dairy, chocolate, and beer, Russian media reported.

Putin and his spoiled Kremlin Jetset will be remembered by the "deplorable" Russian people as the "inflation President", just like Joe Biden. It's a pitty the Russian elections are rigged beyond the scale, they will never be able to elect a true Russian patriot who cares about its own people. Russian deplorable are crushed by the inflation at home, and mangled to death on the killing fields of Ukraine... They are all just cannon fodder - being slaughtered by the never ending Kremlin war machine. How many Russians have died in this war... a war that is going nowhere for Russia. Ukrainians remain invincible - even though their country is 30 times smaller than Russia.

Who cares, and aren’t you going to volunteer for WWIII?
When do you ship out?
You will, won’t you?
It’s a safe bet, just look at how you’re (supposedly) winning!

If not for foreign war funding Ukraine would be squashed.

Yeah, the invincibility claim is a laugh.
They’re so invincible that they can’t retake “fortress avdiivka” which is well behind the Russian lines.
Lines that keep inexorably moving against Ukraines favor.

And Kiev got hit repeatedly yesterday, if they’re so invincible that wouldn’t happen.
But.. the propagandists have to post their drivel.
At any rate, the laundromat party is over in January.
Unless blinken does his observed job and sparks full out war on his trip in the euro zone this week?
I’m sure the war pigs will flock to volunteer themselves in droves. (Not)

“If not for foreign war funding Ukraine would be squashed.”

>>>>>>>>>>

Ukraine has received only 10% of the latest approved aid from the US.
This proves that Ukrainians rely on skill. Pure skill and smart thinking.
Russian meat-heads don’t have such know-how. Thats why they are being slaughtered 5 to 1 in senseless meat-waves attacks against Ukrainians forces.

Russia has also lost its initiative to retake Kursk. They are losing there in their very own country! And even through they brought in a massive 50.000 troops...
Russian incompetence is well-known around the globe. So its understandable.
No wonder India just refused to ban the US dollar it really angered Russia. People in India don’t want to be drawn into the Russian losing machine.

How is Kursk doing... hm.... : Utter humiliation for Putin.
Russia is going down sooner or later.

Lets save the Russian people form the warmongering Kremlin deep-state and so called “politicians” (mafiosos sucking the money out of hard working Russian citizens).

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I have already been a reservist in the army of a NATO country (not France).
Every fiber of my body it opposed to the IRAN-Russia-North Korea Alliance.
Thus, I’m against radical islam, against NeoSovetism, against Communism.
No wonder you don’t agree with me.

“Lets save the Russian people”

There you go again, with “us” this time. It’s always the royal warmongering “We” from you while you’re hiding safely in a country that won’t be a serious participant if we go to war with Russia. It’s not your money wasted, and it won’t be your kids that will be sacrificed to save the Ukraine.
