Due to war and sanctions, russians began to eat less - CCD

The problems of the russian economy caused by the war with Ukraine and sanctions have led to the fact that russians began to eat less. This is stated in the report of the Center for Countering Disinformation (CCD).

The CCD noted that for the first time in many years, statistics recorded a drop in food consumption in the aggressor country of the russian federation in natural terms.

Thus, over the past two months, russians have eaten 9% less buckwheat and meat, 10% less rice, drank 8% less milk, etc. At the same time, russians' monetary spending on food has increased due to a significant increase in food prices.

"While russian propaganda convinces russian citizens that their real incomes are supposedly growing and the economy, despite sanctions, is "in good shape," in reality, ordinary russians are literally forced to "tighten their belts."

The only reason for the deterioration of russians' lives is the continuation of the war against Ukraine, which requires more and more expenses that the Kremlin is extracting from the wallets of its subjects," the Center emphasized.

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine noted that the russian economy is entering a phase when even official statistics are no longer able to hide the scale of the problems.
