Vedomosti

The halt on imports will be felt in supermarkets and drug stores throughout Russia, both due to a steep hike in prices and a lack of available products on shelves. Suppliers are quickly trying to find a solution for how to deal with the crisis, but the continuously unstable ruble makes it difficult to create any promise of stability in the immediate future.
