Russian Food Crisis - Joe Blogs
In this video I discuss the price of two staple products for Russians - potatoes and gasoline, both of which are increasing in price at alarming rates. Russia is one of the largest consumers of potatoes in the world and there are currently shortages which have caused prices to rise by 65% in the past 12 months. Added to this gasoline prices are also rising rapidly and inflation remains at a dangerously high level.
