“On the instructions of the President, the government has taken very effective and vigorous measures to stabilize the price situation and is constantly monitoring,” a Kremlin spokesman told reporters.

According to him, relevant ministries and departments promptly respond to changes in market conditions. 

As Peskov emphasized, the main thing is "to avoid the amplitude going beyond the permissible seasonal fluctuations and the international conjuncture."

In December, the Cabinet of Ministers announced a set of measures in connection with the rise in prices for socially significant products.

Manufacturers and retailers entered into agreements to stabilize price increases.
