Ex-mayor of Cherkasy, who fled to Russia, made a curious statement about 'top parts of Easter cakes'.

Volodymyr Oliinyk criticizes the trend of Easter cake tops

Former mayor of Cherkasy Volodymyr Oliinyk appeared on Russian television and expressed his opinion on the spread of the Ukrainian market for Easter cake tops during Easter. According to him, the economic situation in Ukraine is difficult, as people cannot afford to buy fully baked Easter cakes, only the tops.

In his opinion, this is all a sign that 'the situation is tough' in Ukraine, and 'people are poor.'

Oliinyk is a Ukrainian pro-Russian politician who has been hiding in Moscow since December 2015. He is also known as one of the organizers of the anti-Ukrainian 'Committee for the Salvation of Ukraine'. Recently, he was sanctioned by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and entered the database of 'Peacemaker' as a traitor to his homeland and an agent of Russian special services.

Return to traditions

The popularity of Easter cake tops has intrigued Ukrainians ahead of Easter. Supermarkets have offered this product as an alternative to classic Easter cakes, which may turn out to be a convenient and cost-effective option. The tops have the shape and glaze similar to full Easter cakes, but only the top part of the product. Some consumers consider this a convenient option for celebrating without extra worries.
