Higher prices were recorded for services (+11.4% vs. +11.3% in October) and food (+9.9% vs. +9%), notably butter (+34.1% vs +29.7%) and fruit and vegetables (+18.7% vs +13.5%). Meanwhile, non-food product price growth remained steady at 5.7%. On a monthly basis, consumer prices rose by 1.4% in November, the most since April 2022, slightly above market estimates of 1.3%

#3  #2 Correction: NATO's fault.
Russia will have at least 4% net growth next year, and inflation is in check. How does the West look?

#2  Ukraine is Putin's fault, and Russia's decline will be his legacy.

#1  Trump's meet and greet will test his skills. We can do this, no. We can do that, no. Trump's current neocon advisers only want a Russian defeat—the same advisors as in past administrations. I hope Trump charts his path, or he will become the fall guy. Ukraine will be his fault.
