Russian Skydiver Plunges To His Death At Contest Dedicated To Putin<\/h3>\n

A video of mostly elderly Russians queuing up for eggs has exposed the economic impact of Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Anton Gerashchenko, an advisor to the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, shared a clip of ordinary Russians in the southwestern city of Saratov lining up for the basic food item.<\/p>\n

This comes amid reports that Russians are stockpiling eggs, amid rising inflation across the country.<\/p>\n

Experts link the soaring levels of inflation to President Putin’s invasion and the Western sanctions that followed.<\/p>\n

Alongside the video, Mr Gerashchenko tweeted: “In Saratov, Russia, people are standing in large queues for eggs and making large stockpiles of them.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“There are queues in the city to buy eggs. People are even fighting over eggs sometimes.<\/p>\n

“Over the past week, eggs have been breaking the record for inflation. The region has also started selling them by the piece.<\/p>\n

“Are the ‘food wars’ in Russian grocery stores returning?”<\/p>\n

A report in Euronews last week revealed that many Russian pensioners are unable to afford rent and food without the help of their children due to the inflation levels.<\/p>\n

Russia’s Central Bank forecasts inflation for the full year, as well as next year, to be about 7.5 percent.<\/p>\n

However, shoppers in Russia disagree and claim food prices in particular are devastatingly high.<\/p>\n

Roxana Gheltkova, a shopper in Moscow, told Euronews: “If we talk in percentage terms, then, probably, prices increased by 25 percent.<\/p>\n

“This is meat, staple products \u2014 dairy produce, fruits, vegetables, sausages. My husband can\u2019t live without sausage!<\/p>\n

“Sometimes I’m just amazed at price spikes.”<\/p>\n
