Cucumber is selling gold! Inflation spikes in Russia over Putin’s bellicose mood, growing anger
Russia now ‘new gold’ cucumber! Overnight, this green vegetable has become a symbol of helpless Moscow in the face of economic shock! The price of daily necessities is increasing. Ordinary Russian citizens have started to express their anger on social media.
It is known that the price which was last December has increased almost twice. In Russia, a kilogram of cucumber is now selling for 300 rubles. Indian currency which is 356 rupees! Some even double or triple the price! In other words, ‘harmless’ cucumbers are being sold at much higher prices than meat.
But why such a situation in the open market? Behind this is definitely the shadow of war. Almost four years have passed since the Ukraine-Russia war. As a result, the military sector continues to spend continuously. Which is affecting the civilian sector. The result is such a fire price of daily necessities. Also, the government, which used to give huge subsidies, is now unable to meet the huge expenditure on war and incidentals! Again VAT increased from 20 to 22 percent. In addition, Russia’s harsh winters are also a factor. Due to the pressure of so many factors, the price is increasing rapidly. And ordinary Russian citizens are sighing.
But in spite of all this the good situation is in Siberia. In the supermarket there, but the prices of things are within reach. But the picture for the rest of the country is equally grim. In this situation, Russia’s best-selling newspapers are ‘giving away’ grain seeds to readers! The objective is that everyone can grow vegetables at home and at least satisfy the stomach burn by putting out the fire in the wallet. Meanwhile, the opposition has unleashed fury against Russian President Vladimir Putin. He claimed that this situation should be controlled quickly.
