The cost of a pint of lager will soar in the UK as a result of Russia invading Ukraine, a Ukrainian MP has said. The price of a fish and chip supper will also rocket because of the war, he warned.
Odessa MP Alex Goncharenko - an important ally of President Volodymyr Zelensky - said lager and fried chips were some of the things that would become more expensive as his country could not export crucial ingredients. He called for the Royal Navy to police a deal allowing grain to be sent from ports on the Black Sea, The Mirror reports.
Speaking to reporters during the NATO Summit in Madrid, Mr Goncharenko said: “Already people in the whole world are feeling the result of this blockade, when some man in London is ordering fish and chips, chips are fried in Ukrainian sunflower oil of which 30% of the world’s export is Ukrainian. Now it has disappeared.
