Amazing people you are Russian. How can it be so that the life becomes worse, and the economy is growing. I guess you're just victims of propaganda. Sanctions do not act immediately, but they start a destructive tool and you will feel a few years after they are canceled. Unless of course they cancel. The Russian behavior is very similar to the behavior of North Koreans. Maybe because they are also Communists?

Have you ever been to Russia? The western media paints a picture of Russia where the parents struggle to feed their children. Come out of the media mirage. If you want to see such scenarios, then you don't need to go too far. As per the latest reports, close to 60% of the Ukrainians are starving.

I am very often in Ukraine and Russia. If you compare the standard of living in the big cities the fact is it is a little higher than in Ukraine, but if you compare the standard of living in small towns and villages that people live better in Ukraine. Besides, the prices for food in Ukraine are lower and there is no hunger. I don't know how to conduct such research in the UN, but it seems to me that they are not correct.

Yes, they give false information. In Russia and Ukraine there are many natural resources for the cultivation of animals and plants, they simply can not starve. I would rather believe that in Africa they are starving.

Bullshit. May be some regions, but besides the low per capita income, sanctions have slashed the value of the ruble. They have some natural resources, but agricultural exports have sucked since the Soviet Union collapsed. Farms lost subsidy; it's taken a while to recover as a national market. They have the land, the Climate as well, but the infrastructure is lacking. And this wasn't always the case, the state sponsored model was pretty efficient.

You can say anything, but I haven't seen hungry people neither in Russia nor in Ukraine. These economies are in really bad shape, but there is no famine. The quality of food is of course bad, but that is another question.
