Russia stole Ukrainian grain worth more than 30 billion UAH.

According to information, Russia seized Ukrainian grain worth more than 30 billion UAH. This was reported by Yuriy Bielousov, Head of the Department for Combating Crimes Committed in Conditions of Armed Conflict, Office of the Prosecutor General, at the United for Justice conference.

According to Bielousov, Russia's attacks on agricultural infrastructure took place in two stages related to the signing of the "grain deal." Initially, artillery shelling took place in frontline zones, particularly in the Mykolaiv and Kherson regions. After Ukraine rejected Russia's threatening conditions, the attacks extended to Odesa and Odesa region, which has powerful and developed infrastructure.

According to Bielousov, Russia uses various means of destruction, including "Shaheds," "Iskanders" and various types of missiles. All this indicates a coordinated policy of Russia, adopted by the highest military-political leadership of the country.

According to Bielousov, Russia is trying to deprive Ukrainians of means of subsistence by stealing or destroying grain. Currently, the damage caused to Ukraine as a result of the appropriation of grain is estimated at more than 30 billion UAH.

According to him, such actions by Russia can be defined as a crime against humanity and an element of genocide, as this leads to the physical destruction of the nation. Russia deprives Ukrainians of conditions for survival by stealing grain, which has great potential for the nation.

It should be reminded that Russian occupiers plan to increase the export of Ukrainian grain from temporarily occupied territories by expanding the capacities of the Mariupol and Berdyansk seaports.

It was also reported earlier that the enemy exported more than 80 thousand tons of Ukrainian grain from Donetsk region, which is temporarily under occupation.

According to reports, the Russian state company exported almost 212 thousand tons of grain from the occupied part of Zaporizhzhia region in 2023, worth about 46 million dollars. The grain is exported to Turkey, Libya and Israel, and European companies are also involved in this.
