I think they're all feeling it it's just their nature to suffer in silence.

This guy made a video about grocery shopping before the war and had his friend go to the same supermarket around 18 months later. Timestamped.


Fresh produce actually cheaper.

Everything else up around 50%+ on average though.

Like everything else in Russia you just suffer on. Speak out too much and you know what happens, lots of reports about soldiers who refuse to go to front and absorb bullets are getting executed but at this point that's barely news.
Lots of rumors about Putler suffering a cardiac arrest but we will likely never know anytime soon as Russia will likely want to keep that under the rug if true.
 
Russia is continuing to pressure further regardless from losses.
Looks that they had managed to make pincers in Avdiivka area closer while with 0 doubts price was really insane.
Rats and crows etc are busy to consume food....

Ukr too sadly looks that is using meat tactique in some areas....Zelensky had told that even some meters per day should be get ....rats and other wildlife are really busy in Bakhmut area.....:(:(:(.
 
BTW supplies are funny and the longer this is going the more easier is to get that west will appease Putin.
Ukr will lost part of territory and remaining part will be in debts and as cheap buffer.
Like this.
Otherwise isn't possible to explain delayed and slow supplies in insufficient ammouts.

If Ukr had surrended for everyone it will be cool solution. Realpolitik.
If they doesn't want to surround then at least supply a bit, Ukr will lost territories Putin had annexed on paper and everyone will be happy and statisfied.
 
Ukr IMHO anyway still doesn't have brains.
After Harkov offensive was successful Ukr had 2 options: to continue with limited resources or to wait for supplies from their " friends "....
Sorry....
They opted for wrong version.

Also ofc they had dramatically reduced their tanks etc stockpile since 1990 ies and this appeared wrong solution ..

Putin had ordered to increase military budget and it is supposed that also some infrastructure budget's part will be increased in order to finance part of military expenses in hidden way.
For example fortifications in Ukraine might be build for money assigned for civil infrastructure etc....

Also worth noting that the video is only the "SMO" sanctions effect on cost of living in Russia.

This wasn't the first round of sanctions, that was in 2014.... and that damage stacks.

Another Russian youtuber summed up the struggle of getting out of the hole in Russia is almost impossible because even if you're financially responsible and good with money every 5-10 years the value of your savings just halves itself.
 
Frontline.
Russia at any cost is continuing to attempt to close pincers on supply routes to Avdiivka.
1. Russia had established fire control over possible supply routes...
It is sad reality and Ukr looks that didn't had guarded flanks enough.
Thus far all might look really good for Russia unless most likely for political and PR reason they had ordered to take city area ASAP and then....then yeah....
Body bags are in huge demand....
Reason is industrial scale multi layered mining and we'll known coorrdinates for mortars and artillery fire.

Russians are ordered to advance also by foots on the ground and there....
Therefore ...a lot of wild animals and birds, rats etc does have meal....a lot of meat...
 
One from not pro ukr reality is that some officials who had afforded to claim that territorial defense guys and gentlemans are not rotated ...especially if they are local volunteers for territorial defense in so called poor areas ....it is like some kind of national guard.
And when Mr Zelensky is asked that there are some 40+ y.o locals batches in frontline batches fighting 19 months without rotation Mr Zelensky does have one solution: to replace ppl who had asked for rotation etc.

It is reality.

Grocery prices are up that much everywhere.
 
BTW looks that Mr Arestovich had launched his pre election campaign.
As YT star.
When he had meeting with our MoD he told that they need to get weapons and quickly had told that they will need money for reconstruction.
Outcome was that MoD had signed approx 50% from by him supposed military assistance package.
Arestovich also didn't had bothered to have meetings with our local Ukr communities supplying Ukr with donations 20+ years in row.
Instead beauty saloons and maniquire and restaurants.....
Our PM didn't had necessity to see him again next time too.
So beautiful dreamer.

Denys isn't worth to waste time IMHO.

Russia really had commited approx 9-12 brigades size forces to take Avdiivka regardless from losses and they does have air force...a lot.

Dennys better had switched to trenches instead to profit from this war as YT and telegram businessman....sharp and real reality is painful.

Wow for sure, barely a spot on the ground that doesnt have a hole from artillery . Must be tough fighting an enemy like that, that has 0 regard for human life.

Add not only howitzers and field guns also mortars and minefields plus ofc drones etc and MRLS systems fire...

You dont like Denys? I find him ok, he's obviously pro UKR but also talks about UKR loses so his isnt a total shill and his updates have seemed to be accurate. not sure what happened to the "reporting from UKR " guy he he was posting everyday but hasnt in almost a week.

He isn't bad but he is money hungry guy IMHO.
And lazy and sorry technically not too much interested.

If about body bags, today Russia does have huge demand in Avdiivka area and Ukr the same in Bakhmut area....
Losses are till level that mobile crematoriums will be cultural norm.
