Russia stole 600,000 tons of Ukrainian harvest

It is reported by the Media Center Ukraine.

Russia stole about 600,000 tons from agricultural enterprises in Ukraine. The products were exported to the territory of the occupied Crimea, and then Ukrainian products are exported through the ports to international ports. So far, it is known that about 100,000 tons of products have been shipped to Syria,” said Denys Marchuk, Deputy Chairman of the All-Ukrainian Agrarian Council.

The Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine opens criminal proceedings. This information is also recorded by the Main Directorate of Intelligence.

Why Russia needs Ukrainian grain

Such actions of Russia pursue two goals at once - to supply food to their federal districts. Especially those that are not agricultural. The second goal is the commercial component. What is being exported is tens and tens of millions of dollars,” said Denis Marchuk.

How does this happen

In practice, this happens as follows: farmers are forced to give the goods for nothing, if they refuse, the goods are taken away.
