The ongoing systemic growth of prices for consumer goods in the occupied territory predictably does not leave the Crimean population indifferent. As they wrote in Kerch social networks regarding the new, “optimistic” fuel prices, “steep prices. Give us a hundred per liter. And now the question: – In whose dirty pockets does our money end up… The local so-called authorities are busy. In good business.”
And in response to the December statements in the “media” that Sevastopol became “the leader in the rate of increase in gasoline prices”, “with the most respectable car owners who can afford to pay more for gasoline than everyone else”, the townspeople propose awarding the “local administration” an “honorary medal” in the form of “a round (and most importantly – full) gasoline canister with the obligation to carry it 24/7”.
And the typical headlines “where in Feodosia is it cheaper to buy food?” regarding “agricultural fairs” are accompanied by “good news” that in 2025, probably “most markets both in Sevastopol and in Crimea will have to cease to exist”, due to “the entry into force of new requirements for the planning of retail markets”, which must now operate “only in a capital building”, which “very few Crimean bazaars meet”.
Also, the indication that in Crimea the prices for train tickets from the monopoly “Grand Service Express” have increased by 12% since December is accompanied by the fact that this structure “cancelled some of its illegal trains to Crimea, for example, to Feodosia, for the winter due to lack of demand”.
In addition, the “Yevpatoria branch” of sad known “Voda Kryma” “pleased” the townspeople with a new announcement, this time not about another long-term shutdown, and not about the growth of tariffs, but about the fact that in Yevpatoria, the villages of Mirny and Novoozerne, from the middle of the month “measures will be carried out to disconnect debtor subscribers from the centralized water disposal systems by plugging”.
Thus, for some of the impoverished townspeople, with their “debt”, the problems of water costs and its shutdowns “will be left in the past”, which also caused a surge of “happy comments” on social networks.
