Ukrainian war, even fuel rationing with long queues at distributors cannot be ruled out
“The sanctions we have approved, and those that we may approve in the future, require us to carefully consider the impact on our economy.” Laconic. Dry. Lapidary. In the urgent briefing to the Chamber on the war in Ukraine, the Prime Minister Mario Draghibeyond the facade declarations of solidarity with the Ukrainian people, in fact abandoned under Russian bombs, as the brave president said last night Vladimir Zelensky in dramatic video, it leaks what could happen in the coming months and weeks.
On the table of the government there is also the worst-case scenario, that is a period of tears and blood for the Italians, already tried by the expensive bills and by the increase in energy prices that led the executive to numerous interventions. If the war does not end in a few days and if there will be a second sanctions package from the West – as always, the European Union follows the indications of the White House -, with the expected counter-sanctions announced by the Kremlin, the economic repercussions for the Italians could be very heavy.
In addition to the further increase in gas and electricity bills, the drastic measure of gas and light rationing could be reached, with services suspended in some areas of the country (in turn and on rotation) for some areas of the country. Not only that, in the worst predictions the fuel prices it will skyrocket with green petrol above 2 euros per liter, and diesel / diesel only slightly below. It would certainly not be better for LPG gas, which has already increased by 30.2% in the last ten months.
Not even the fuel rationing with long queues at the distributors. Not to mention the road hauliers already on a war footing that could block supplies of all kinds. In addition to energy, the hypotheses are those of a generalized boom in the price of the first essential goods. For example the bread could touch the record figure of 5 euros per kg and for a margherita pizza you could pay up to 6-7 euros. Then increases for the entire agricultural chain and for that of meat and fish, given the higher costs for transport due to expensive fuel.
THE common they could be forced to turn off public lighting for several hours of the day and cuts and repercussions could also be in the sectors of local public transport and even long-distance ones. In short, it is not said that all these things happen, but the governmentas Draghi made it clear in Parliament today, is preparing for worst-case scenario.
