A pot of borscht has risen in price by 40 hryvnia in three months
Ukrainian media used a three-liter pan of borscht to find out the real purchasing power of the national currency. As it turned out, in July you could cook traditional Ukrainian borscht by buying a set of products at the market for 61 UAH 31 kopecks, or in a supermarket for 62 UAH 75 kopecks.
The same calculations, carried out in the first week of November, gave a completely different figure. The total amount for the ingredients is 95 UAH and 6 kopecks, one liter of borscht costs 31 UAH 68 kopecks, reports UNN.
