\"Russians<\/p>\n

Despite official data on "income growth," Russia is experiencing a steady decline in restaurant and bar attendance and an increase in demand for fast food and ready-made meals from grocery stores. This was reported by the Center for Countering Disinformation of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine (CPD), informs UNN.<\/p>\n

Details<\/h2>\n

It is noted that in January-October 2025, the number of fast food orders in the Russian Federation increased by 7%, while in restaurants and bars it decreased by 1%. In Moscow, this trend is even more noticeable: restaurant attendance fell by 5%, while fast food grew by 3%.<\/p>\n

They add that the shift of Russians to cheaper food formats is another indicator of the systemic weakening of the Russian economy amid the ongoing war and tightening sanctions.<\/p>\n

The Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine reported that the Russian authorities are preparing the population for a sharp deterioration in living standards due to a record budget deficit, which in 2025 will reach 5.74 trillion rubles.<\/p>\n
