Russians Resume Theft of Ukrainian Grain: Caravans Head to Rostov-on-Don for Loading Onto Ships

After being loaded in the ports of Rostov-on-Don, the ships proceed to Novorossiysk.

The head of the Center for Occupation Studies, Petro Andriuschenko, has said that with the beginning of the sowing season in the occupied Azov region, the Russians have resumed the theft of Ukrainian grain from storage facilities in the Zaporizhia and Kherson regions, the CFTS portal reports.

According to him, caravans transport stolen grain to Rostov-on-Don to be loaded onto ships bound for Novorossiysk and beyond.

The grain is delivered to Rostov-on-Don, where it is loaded onto ships for further transportation. After loading in the ports of Rostov-on-Don, the ships head for Novorossiysk. The final destination of the vessels remains unclear, but cases of illegal export to third countries have been reported.

In addition, the Russians plan to build seven new grain elevators in the temporarily occupied territory in the Donetsk region. Each of them will have a storage capacity of 20,000 tons of grain. This will allow Russia to export stolen agricultural products even more actively, turning Ukrainian agricultural resources into a source of funding for Russian aggression.

According to the National Resistance Center, about 165,000 tons of Ukrainian grain has already been stockpiled in the temporarily occupied territories in the Donetsk region. The grain is being actively prepared for export.
