Grocery shelves are empty in most stores.
Residents of Samara, the largest city in the middle Volga region and the fifth largest city in Russia, are faced with the disappearance of food from store shelves, writes The Moscow Times.
It is noted that since January 20, consumers have been complaining about the lack of chicken meat, eggs, fruits and vegetables in supermarkets. Retailers attribute the shortage of popular products to the difficult weather conditions that prevailed in the region at the end of last week, and promise to arrange supplies next week.
As of the morning of January 26, grocery shelves are still empty in most stores. Although the consequences of the snowfall that covered the Samara region on Saturday, January 20, have already been eliminated.
Suppliers explain that goods began to arrive from distribution centers, but it was not possible everywhere to quickly unload them due to problems with clearing access roads, the publication writes.
At the same time, chicken began to disappear from stores in Russian regions from the beginning of the year. In particular, residents of Yekaterinburg, Samara, Chelyabinsk and Ulyanovsk were faced with empty shelves. The largest retail chain X5 explained this by interruptions in delivery due to abnormal weather.
Last year, chicken turned out to be one of the most expensive goods: the price increase was 27.7% from the beginning of the year to December 25.
Problems with the economy in the Russian Federation
Earlier, UNIAN wrote that the shortage of eggs and the rise in prices for this product in the Russian Federation reflects the impact of the war on the Russian economy. Russian citizens were forced to stand in lines reminiscent of Soviet times. President Vladimir Putin publicly apologized, blaming the government for the egg shock. And the owner of the poultry farm, known as the “egg king”, survived an attempted murder.
Moreover, economic sanctions against the Russian Federation are gaining strength over time, and ordinary Russians are beginning to feel their effect. Before the war, Russia imported most of its key goods, and parallel markets have been unable to compensate for the loss of supplies since the start of 2022.

russky’s don’t need food, Putler said they want to go back to the USSR, welcome!
That’s right, let them dine on their propaganda. Then next week when there’s no deliveries let them come up with another excuse. After all, snow is not something new in Samara…
Putler will tell the sheep that there is no food because of the West, the sheep will nod in approval, then go light another fire in the street to keep warm.
Exactly, foccusser! In many reports about the country, it had been claimed that RuSSians are accustomed to enduring severe hardships during wartime. Now’s the time for the current generations to prove that. Let them eat snow!
So, during their next session by a fire outdoors to keep warm, the ruskie zombies can fry the rats they caught in their rodent infested dilapidated buildings.
