Actually, Lukashenko under Putin boasted of his successes in the food sector of Belarus. Like, everything grows and continues to grow. Remembering the eggs, he smiled and looked towards the Russian president. He immediately added: “Give us some (eggs – Channel 24), don’t be greedy.”
Putin may have been trying to joke somehow. But there is no place to hide the truth: Russians have really serious problems with eggs. This is confirmed by the information that the aggressor country has already received the third batch of relevant products from Azerbaijan.
Russia receives eggs from Azerbaijan
So, Rosselkhoznadzor controlled the import into Russia of the third batch of Azerbaijani table eggs. 306 thousand units or 18 tons were brought into the country on December 25. On December 19, the first batch was brought to Russia – 612 thousand eggs, and on December 21 – the second batch for 306 thousand eggs.
Eggs in Russia have risen in price insanely
As noted on the air of Channel 24, Russian opposition political strategist Rostislav Murzagulov, the problem with eggs demonstrates all the “greatness” of Russia.
According to him, the rising cost of eggs should not be perceived as a fictitious problem that Putin will quickly eliminate it so that the people will be grateful to him. The reality is this: this is the result of the total incompetence of the authorities in the country.
Problem very simple. This is a normal situation for a country mired in corruption, theft and nepotism. Hand washes hand. Russia is a gas station country. Here they can only trade oil, and then attack neighboring states for the money received,” Murzagulov emphasized.
In fact, in Russia the demand for eggs has grown so much that producers cannot keep up supply appropriate products. Therefore, in the first half of 2023, egg prices increased by more than 46%, and in the second by another 20%. That is why eggs are imported from Turkey, Azerbaijan and Iran.
