Two ships are being loaded with coking coal, and one is being loaded with grain.

Ukrainian intelligence has identified 45 vessels involved in stealing Ukrainian grain and shipping it to global markets.

In particular, the vessel Enisey loaded 40,000 tons of wheat in the occupied Sevastopol.

The company will forfeit nearly UAH 1 million in bid security if it fails to complete the purchase of the vessel.

To evade sanctions, the vessel repeatedly changed its name and ownership, registering under companies based in third countries.

According to the Russian invaders’ concept, this initiative will supposedly help to “increase the number of domestic regular and tourist routes.”

This amounts to the de facto confiscation of strategic infrastructure and the diversion of all revenue streams to Rostov.

Ukrainian grain is delivered to ports in Russia or occupied Crimea, from where the Russians export it to foreign markets under the guise of their own…

This is an attempt by the Russian Federation to legitimize the theft and export of Ukrainian resources – grain, coal, and metal – via the port.

The Russians expect to export up to 1.5 million tons of stolen cargo through the occupied port in the future.

Simultaneously, the Russians continue to dredge the fairway.

Previously, the Russians illegally included Mariupol on the list of ports open to foreign vessels.
