Life in RUSSIA 2 months AFTER SANCTIONS

Hi everyone!
In this video I want to give you an update of how life in Russia has changed under sanctions 2 months later. I will tell you about the current economic situation in Russia and also will show you the prices for food, gas, and other stuff.
I wish you all an amazing day!
Thank you for watching!

[@h.o6987]

Actually not just in Russia . Food prices are rising up the all countries especially oil , wheat , barley , chicken , meat , some fruits and vegetables .

I live in Greece and the situation is tragic… Gas prices are going up every day and are higher than prices even in the US, electricity bills have more than doubled, food prices are rising too, and there’s no stopping.

[@CMB21497]

Not sure, but I suspect that gas is always cheaper in the U.S. We tax it, but not nearly as much. I paid $4.19 for 3.7 liters last week. It is still about the same right now.

[@CMB21497]

@Sean Hardman The original poster said that Greek gas prices are "higher than prices even in the US". I was saying that they always are higher in Greece. For instance, I recently $4.19 per gallon (3.7 liters), and the current price for gasoline in Greece is $2.26 per liter ($8.36 per gallon).

[@nick4819]

I feel the same in the US and I live very close to oil fields and refineries. I hate to say it but it isn't just the war that is affecting everything....prices are going up because of how we all treated COVID, especially here in the US by just dumping trillions of dollars into the economy. Since currencies around the world are based off of the US dollar.... all of them will be affected. This is exactly what I experienced before the 2008 recession...and I have a horrible feeling that is fixing to happen again. Everything is increasing in cost...yet I make less and less money every day thanks to inflation. This is what those fucking idiots that said "please government...just give us all money!!!" has caused...

That is not always true. There are other ways for businesses to lower the price back to "normal". That is by making food portions smaller. Example: Like a box of twinkies. It still has 12 in the box, but they are smaller.

[@lensman5762]

I was surveying the price of a barrel of oil in the last 10 years earlier on. In 2012, 2013 & part of 2014 for some reason, the price of a barrel of oil shot up to almost the same level as it is now, about $107.00 per barrel. Then the average price of a Litre of petrol was £1.25 here in the UK. Today the cheapest is £1.62 per Litre and some stations sell it at £1.74 per Litre. In 2016 the price of a barrel of oil dropped to around $58.00, yet the price of petrol only camedown to £1.07 per Litre, a decrease of only 18% for a reduction in price of oil of over 60%. Something doesn't add up. Somebody has decided to recoup the money the governments spent ( governments do not have money, it is all from taxes collected from working people so in effect it was our money ) during the pandemic, by these unprecedented increases in the price of all energy, of this I am certain. And now this stupid pointless conflict over nothing. Where are we heading with this Globalism in charge of our destinies?

Yes your right, BUT it was PUTIN and his generals and the Russian paranoia that started this WAR. Dunno why they think anyone's interested in Invading Russia. Europe including Ukraine want to live in peace. But Putin thinks he has a divine right to decide what areas still make up Russia. He needs to get over the fact that the USSR is NO more and Ukraine is a free sovereign nation that can do as it pleases even join NATO or Europe. Never forget who the aggressor is and that RUSSIA invaded Ukraine. Yes we all want peace but not at the price of giving Ukraine back to Russia, It's only going to get worse ,Putin's plans have back fired ,pushing Sweden and Finland towards NATO and not just Ukraine 🙄🙄🤔 it's all very pointless but this happens when you have a unbalanced mentally ill Despot pulling the strings 🙄🙄?!?!!!

[@rikaardyyz3039]

@@jan3382 NO one had any interest with a full war with Russia. Both sides have thousands of nukes , far more than is needed as a deterrent , unless things have changed a lot it was always Russia who had the most ICBMS. And u can look on it the other way, until the last ten years it was Russia who threatened Europe. Anyway it's not you or me , generally it's Putin after all he started the war with this invasion. He can't hide the fact it's a war now, thousands dead on both sides. We have had good relationship with Russia before , worth Gorbachev and others. Obviously a limited amount of nukes keeps a balance and helps to not have a war. There is NO way Europe and the West would start throwing nukes. After all it's called MAD for a reason " mutually assured destruction ", a war no one can win as in the END of life !!!!!. We can disagree all day but no one wants any Russian territory. We want to live in peace. How ever this invasion is reported by RT, it was an INVASION. NO NATO won't ever start a war but an invasion of Baltic States or Poland is an attack against all. With recent missile attacks on civilians in a shopping mall WTF is Putin doing???, I'm sure the average Russian are fine people but Putin wants the whole of Ukraine under his control. And that is not his choice and will never happen. Alas unless he stops this madness or u get a new leader this war will drag on for ages and NATO will add more and more modern weapons. NO Russian civilian towns have been targeted even though Russia is throwing missiles at Ukrainian towns. This will just lead to the USA saying " ok we will send the long range MLRS and the computers for m777 and Excalibur ( accurate to six feet ). I DON'T want a war and I think most people don't, we would like a peaceful world but it all changed when Putin invaded and started a war with a sovereign nation.

@@dougcollins8232 The reason for war is always the same, they think they difrent/better than others and they have the right. The only differences is that they believe any bulshit that suports their claim with whole heart. But its always the same price, what you give is what you get. Germans learned it in ww2 and changed, but rusia despite atrosities they done in ww2 got good reputation becouse of US prezident that wanted good relationship, so he forgot the bad and only left the good. Now after 70+ years all that remembered the real deal are dead and only the myth of glory remains that fuels the ambition. Same ambition that germans once had but learned be humility how wrong their where. When people get bored from daily war, thats the start of new one. Never get bored of the facts, always remember the real truth or it will repeat it self. Some may say that rusia whould never gone to it if it was accepted in the team(team earth)but because most didnt want to trust them its their foult. But its the owner foult if he locks the dor on his house so a criminal cant get in ? Germany was in this decade one of the few who wanted rusia intagrated in team and they invested in it so that rusia has no reason to atack becouse of abandoment and it backfired on them. Rusia lost all reason despite all that builded trust. Ukraine isnt the reason. Putin started many global conflicts and blamed US even tho he was responsible as well. All seen it, Noone could prove it, but all could tell it was the case. Same with the munition explosions all over EU that got linked to rusian agents. What did rusia? Deny it. All the actions after was only of the power not diplomacy. If you only stall for time and never try to show compation that is free of charge, noobody will believe you. Brute force never led to acceptence, nor the lie propaganda to technological development. Sadly only war changes a thing and only total decimation of once pride changes human nature. Crimes that are left unpunished will ocur again later. Because there will always come someone to achieve fame and glory for him self. Rusia never admited any crime in history of their nation and does who said otherwise where banned or warned or else. People who lack aducation tend to be easy manipulated and blame anyone for their fails. Rusia always warped their history and never admited crimes or thanked other nation. They now will celebrate 9may as victory in WW2 and probbly some achievments in ukraine "situation" but i liked to see some thanks in their presentation to the alies who helped them to have chance to winn in that war. Its known fact that rusia had bilions of material send in the war be alies free of charge that basicli give them any chance agains germans. If they didnt get any help it whould ended diferent way. But i never see them thank fot that or admit it was crusial. Noone wanted them help at that time because all hated them couse of the war they self started. But their swalow pride because only way to stop germans was to unite even with your enemy. Now when World send help to basicli the same people its considered bad ? I wish the situation would turn and there was some switch to repair thinks that happen and the broken trust that rusians wont be able to repair any time soon because it will divide them even more from rest of the world. They only hope is greed from those who have less wealth then they have. Not many of those around tho. Lets prapare for century of cold war where truth is just a myth as the trust.😮‍💨
