Occupiers want to increase the scale of grain export from Ukraine.
Russian occupiers plan to expand the capacity of Mariupol and Berdiansk seaports to increase the export of Ukrainian grain from occupied territories
According to the National Resistance Center, Russian occupiers intend to increase the export of agricultural products and other goods from the occupied territories.
In particular, the Russians plan to export large volumes of grain, as well as equipment from metallurgical enterprises that were captured.
According to the Center, more than 1.3 million tons of grain have already been collected in the occupied Kherson region, most of which is planned to be exported beyond the temporarily occupied territories.
From the beginning of the year until August, the occupiers have already organized more than 15 shipments of Ukrainian grain from the port of Mariupol to Russia.
Recently, it was reported that the Russians exported more than 80 thousand tons of Ukrainian grain from the occupied Donetsk region.
A Russian state company, created by the enemies, exported more than 212 thousand tons of grain from the occupied part of the Zaporizhzhia region in 2023, amounting to approximately $46 million. The grain is exported to Turkey, Libya, and Israel, with European companies also involved in this process.
