Since the beginning of the war, a number of goods have become more expensive in Ukraine. Especially consumer electronics prices have changed. The cost of smartphones, tablets and other devices has increased by at least 10%. What and how much did it cost?

At the beginning of the war, its price rose to 18,222 UAH. But these were still blooms, because at the end of March they had requested 20,641 UAH for a smartphone.
