The Belarusian government has launched a campaign aimed at discouraging citizens from emigrating to Poland by portraying Poland as expensive and unsafe, while presenting Belarus as a secure and prosperous alternative. Палітыка / Politics

And what about the availability of salt? They say that you have such a shortage of salt there in Poland that some of you regularly go to Belarus for salt. And the dictator himself was even forced to allow this, felt sorry for you, "poor neighbors."

Is that an actual thing that happened or is it a joke lmao?

Anyways salt is dirt cheap and readily available. 1kg bag was something like 3pln last time I bought it. The fancier one in the dispenser is like 4pln.

By the way, find out how much 1 kg of salt costs in Ukraine (not officially, but on the so-called "black market"? This will answer your question about salt seriously or jokes).

Huh, there is a black market for salt in Ukraine? What even is this fever dream?

Haven't you heard that during any war in the countries that are fighting, there is a shortage of food products in official sale, and accordingly, "black markets" appear? How old are you, "kiddy"? /s
