Video: Fights Erupt in Kazakhstan Stores Over Flour and Sugar Purchases
In Kazakhstan, there is a noticeable shortage of certain products. Authorities have imposed a ban on the export of grains, flour, and sugar. The sugar deficit is related to exchange rates, with the ruble gaining value against the tenge.
Information has also surfaced on social media regarding a shortage of fuel and long queues at gas stations. However, the Ministry of Energy later denied these reports.
Due to high demand for scarce goods, fights have erupted in some stores. Users have shared videos of these altercations.
