How Russians steal Ukrainian grain: the main thing in brief
- Ukrainian grain from the Melitopol elevator left in the direction of the Crimea. At the same time, photos of columns of trucks with stolen grain were published near Kerch and Dzhankoy.
Important!According to the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine, during the full-scale war, Russians removed 500,000 tons of wheat from the occupied territories of Ukraine.
The aggressor state sold almost 100,000 tons to Syria. International wheat prices exceed $400 per ton – that is, with this delivery Russia stole more than $40 million from Ukraine.
- One of the countries to which Russia tried to sell stolen goods in Ukraine grain, was Egypt. But in Egypt they refused to buy the loot and the ship changed direction to Lebanon and Syria. It is these regimes that help Putin to commit crimes against humanity.
- Turkey constantly claims attempts at a diplomatic solution to unblock Ukrainian ports. However, Ukrainian Ambassador to Turkey Vasily Bodnar said that Istanbul is buying stolen Ukrainian grain from Moscow.
- Ukraine has already turned to the Turkish authorities and Interpol to start an investigation and find out who is involved in the supply of grain in transit through Turkish waters .
