The occupying authorities of the Kherson region have introduced “ceiling prices” on food and essential goods.
The relevant order of the occupying Ministry of Industry was published on the website of the illegal administration.
According to the document, prices for basic food products have been capped in the territory of the occupied part of the region:
- pork — up to 350 rubles per kilogram;
- chicken — up to 210 rubles;
- frozen fish — 250 rubles;
- milk — 100–107 rubles per liter;
- sugar — 75 rubles;
- buckwheat — 60 rubles;
- oil — 148 rubles per liter;
- sour cream — 400 rubles;
- baby formula — up to 1150 rubles per kilogram.
The occupiers also set “ceiling prices” for non-food items — household soap (70 rubles), laundry detergent (225 rubles), toilet paper (24 rubles), women’s sanitary pads (120 rubles), as well as building materials, including brick, cement and tiles.
Earlier we wrote that residents of the occupied territories of the Kherson region complain about the increasingly frequent absence of goods on store shelves. According to them, due to the lack of profits from sales, retailers are not in a hurry to purchase them, and in some places instances of ‘under-the-counter’ sales are increasing.
