“Images of war”… from the Russian Super Market, are making the rounds of the internet in the last hours as citizens fight in food stores for a little sugar.
As shown in the relevant shots, elderly people are trying in panic to secure one or two packets of sugar.
“People are fighting for sugar,” said a resident of a suburb north of Moscow, explaining that retirees are fighting over who will grab more bags.
It is noted that the product is not in short supply however the citizens of Russia, fearing possible shortage in the future have rushed to procure.
The snapshots that have been circulating on the internet for the last few days are indicative of the situation that prevails in the country at a time when the war in Ukraine is raging for the 22nd day.
It is recalled that a few days earlier the Russian Prime Minister signed a decree banning the export of white and raw sugar until 31 August and the export of wheat, rye, barley and corn until 30 June in the neighboring Eurasian countries.
Sugar fights go on in Russia.
TBtw from now on their stores are allowed not to issue paper checks – due to lack of cash tape pic.twitter.com/XVKMO0z8e2
