Buryatia's head pledges to mobilize clothing shop owners for overpricing

Head of Russia’s Republic of Buryatia, Alexey Tsydenov, has appealed to local entrepreneurs who own shops selling special clothing, uniforms, and equipment in connection with the overpricing cases.

He said that he was informed about the increase in the cost of goods in demand among the mobilized people during a meeting with local citizens, Kommersant reports, citing Tsydenov’s Telegram channel.

“The guys said that the price of overalls and equipment has risen sharply. I appeal to the sellers if someone decides to cash in at this time, earn super profits, it is better to lower prices back, otherwise, you will have to prepare for mobilization, we will reach everyone,” Tsydenov warned.

In addition, the head of Buryatia appealed to employers, informing them of the need to maintain all jobs of mobilized persons "in all organizations, regardless of the form of ownership".

Tsydenov pledged to take "the most serious measures against negligent employers" who would fire mobilized people.
