This thesis was circulated on social networks, in particular on telegram channels broadcasting pro-Kremlin rhetoric. Reports say that in Ukraine they are selling the remains of “Artemsil” for 2,500 hryvnia per kilogram. They say that the money is being sent “to somewhere”, probably this is how they profit from the Ukrainians. This is manipulation.

In fact, we are talking about the initiative of the State Enterprise “ARTEMSIL” and the fundraising platform “UNITED24”, which released a special batch of the famous salt on the anniversary of a full-scale war. The initiative was also supported by employees of the ROZETKA marketplace and the Ukrainian supermarket chain “Silpo”, where this salt can be purchased. The rest, namely 200 tons of salt, were packaged in packs of 200 grams. The cost of one pack is 500 hryvnia, 465 of which will go to charity. This is a limited edition of salt, it is not widely available. The initiators also do not position this particular salt as a consumer product, however, the propagandists changed the concept and began to claim that it is, on the contrary, a consumer product, and they “make money” from the Ukrainians.

In theory, one can buy a kilogram of limited edition salt, but it is not sold by weight. That is, it is more of a souvenir than a food product.
