[77820] Wave of price hikes: price of fresh peas in Ukraine jumps to 1000 hryvnia

A sharp surge in food prices in Ukraine: peas at 1000 hryvnia

A wave of angry reactions is flooding social networks in Ukraine following reports of an unusual rise in the prices of basic products, with the focus on the price of young peas, which has now reached 1000 hryvnia per kilogram in supermarket chains.

According to Times of Ukraine (a channel demonstrating clear support for Zelensky and the Ukrainian government), users on social networks expressed amazement at the data and asked cynically, "Where are they bringing it from?". The Україна Online channel described the situation as one where "prices are flying into space," following similar reports from other channels such as Україна⚡️Новини⚡️Війна and Ху Київ +, which noted that prices have "soared to the heavens."

The channel Юрист пише… also addressed the issue and called the prices "cosmic heights." As of May 31, 2026, the subject has become viral among the Ukrainian public, as the various sources emphasize the gap between the cost of the product and the difficult economic reality in the country, without providing an official explanation from the supermarket chains for the source of the surge in the cost of living.
