It's a military operation .

People are very stupid to believe that food is made in shops, understand that spinach need a peice of land to grow not a shop, understand that chickens can find food for themselves they only need water and nice shelter...grow crops and make maze meal.

Cut the crap. We not falling for that blame Putin nonsense. Sanctions on Russia did this, sanctions imposed by the U.S & its European lackeys. As always regular people are given some bogus reason why their poorer, while big business reaps billions in profits from the misery.
