Russian invaders constantly export crops from Zaporozhye by trains/ua.news
< strong _ngcontent-sc88="">In early July, the Russian occupiers boasted about the opening of a railway connection between Crimea and Melitopol, which was presented as a “Kremlin victory.” In fact, the train running along this line of the railway is designed to cover civilian cargo as a human shield.
According to Channel 24 intelligence sources, the Russian invaders made a lot of efforts to launch the railway messages are by no means for the convenience of civilians. The invaders, of course, needed the opportunity to more conveniently provide their troops with everything they needed.
And shamelessly stealing crops from farmers in Zaporozhye, because it is quite difficult to export thousands of tons of grain, corn and sunflower by trucks.
Small farmers have nowhere to go
- If more or less large enterprises usually have warehouses for storing crops and they can hope for a quick de-occupation and preservation of the business, then small farmers do not have such opportunities.
- Due to the conditions created by the Russians, a large number of farmers in the territories of the Zaporozhye region temporarily occupied by the aggressors found themselves on the verge of bankruptcy. After all, they have nowhere to store their crops, and all the elevators are controlled by the occupiers.
- The invaders offered such entrepreneurs to cooperate with each other and rent out someone else's agricultural equipment, but only when selling the entire crop to Russian legal entities at the elevators.
< li>What's more, the invaders even provide free diesel fuel to the farmers, since the price they set for the crop is extremely low.
Therefore, during the day, trains with ammunition and fuel for the Russian army go from Crimea to Melitopol, and part of the diesel is allocated to entrepreneurs who simply have nowhere to go.
After unloading, empty special cars are distributed in 7-10 pieces and pulled by diesel locomotives to elevators to Prishib, Akimovka and Melitopol. There, at night, grain is loaded onto them, after which the echelons are collected on a train in Melitopol and driven off to the occupied peninsula.
They promise to pay only those who become “Russian entrepreneurs”< /h2>
According to local residents and partisans, since July 1, trains with grain and sunflower actually stolen from farmers have been going to Crimea in a continuous stream. Most of the harvest with forged documents will be transported and sold by the Russians by sea directly from the peninsula. The smaller part will be exported to the mainland of Russia, where they will be used for their own needs.
All the costs of complex logistics, the issuance of fuel and lubricants to farmers, as well as the “purchase” of crops from entrepreneurs are a complete trifle for Moscow, because the cost grain on world markets is extremely overpriced due to the crisis created by Russia.
Besides, war criminals cannot even pay the owners of the crop on time. Representatives of Russia, who are involved in the preparation of “documents” during the “purchase”, promise to pay for all grain only by bank transfer and, of course, in rubles.
To receive ridiculous amounts, farmers have to not only open accounts in Russian banks , but also to register their enterprises in Russia.
