Russia Ukraine war, page-23086

You ask a very good question ...no idea ...though Putin has done something to protect it .
Russia has rampant inflation and I DO know the official rate isn't really the rate most transactions are done at .

"I used to buy cans of Dutch-made baby formula for 2,500 roubles before Feb. 24," said Marina, a Moscow resident, with her newborn baby. "Now the same can costs 4,500 roubles while boxes of kasha (a porridge-based drink for children) have gone up to 100 from 64 roubles for a 500-ml box."

Since Feb. 24, food prices have soared, taking the year-to-date increase in prices for cabbage and carrots to 85% and 54%, respectively, according to statistics service Rosstat.

There will be much Rouble printing done before this is finished and the inflation won't be getting any less .
