Food prices in Russia will increase by 27-35%

The government says this is good news, and the State Duma plans to introduce ration cards for those who cannot afford food.

Our government source provided the forecast. According to him, two factors will influence the price increase: further increases in fuel prices and a VAT hike [ https://t.me/kremlin_secrets/6214 ].

"Food price increases are expected to be gradual; there won't be a one-third increase overnight. Everything will happen gradually, some this year, others later. We've consulted with the Central Bank and predict a maximum increase of 27-35%. And that's good news. After all, according to one scenario, prices could have risen by over 60% . But it seems the dire forecasts aren't borne out. Therefore, everything will be within reason," the channel's source noted.

He declined to answer the question of whether food stamps would be introduced for Russians who are unable to afford groceries after the price hike ( we wrote about the government's proposal [ https://t.me/kremlin_secrets/6136 ] ). "This issue will be decided by Vladimir Vladimirovich. I don't rule out a positive decision, but I have no comment for now," the source said.

Meanwhile, the introduction of food stamps in Russia has moved closer, as our insider information confirms [ https://t.me/tass_agency/341147 ]. A bill is planned to be introduced in the State Duma to issue food stamps (the same as "cards," but more benignly called "food stamps") to low-income citizens. The nominal value of such a stamp would be 30% of the subsistence minimum.

Such plans also confirm the fact that food prices will, unfortunately, inevitably and quite significantly rise.

The Kremlin refused to answer questions about protecting our tankers

Meanwhile, philosopher Dugin announced a "terrible mobilization" in October-November.

We asked several sources about protection after French special forces detained a tanker that some consider part of our so-called "shadow fleet." [https://t.me/ejdailyru/357823 ]**

Almost everyone in the Presidential Administration declined to discuss the matter. Only one source noted that "protecting tankers isn't the Kremlin's level." He declined to elaborate.

The military personnel we spoke with also declined to comment on the situation. Their general opinion is that "it's hardly worth fighting NATO over a tanker or two."

At the same time, philosopher Alexander Dugin believes that a "terrifying mobilization" will definitely be declared in Russia. "The military is now needed not only to march on Kyiv, but also to protect tankers and prepare to defend borders with NATO countries. I'm sure the mobilization will take place in October or November. Some will find it terrifying in its scale. But my heart rejoices," Alexander Gelyevich told us.

In response to these comments, the Kremlin noted that Vladimir Putin has not yet made any decisions regarding mobilization. They may be made in October. It's difficult to say what the President will decide.

The publication writes that it allegedly served as a platform for launching drones off the coast of Denmark between September 22 and 25, when unknown drones were spotted in the area of ​​Copenhagen Airport.

The vessel in question is the Benin-flagged Boracay. According to MarineTraffic, it departed Primorsk on September 20, transited the Baltic and North Seas, Danish territorial waters, and then the English Channel. The tanker is currently anchored off Saint-Nazaire, and an investigation is underway. The vessel's crew refused to provide identification documents and disobeyed orders.
