Occupiers from russia have shown in a video how they load Ukrainian grain onto ships. The first ship with stolen grain left the port of occupied Mariupol in May 2023. The occupiers did not hide this, on the contrary - they boasted about their crimes.
Some ship names in propaganda videos are blurred, but we have identified both the ships and the companies to which they belong. We have also learned the names of several russian grain traders who load grain there.
The fleet in Mariupol is controlled by the russian state-owned company "Roskapstroy". And it's still not under sanctions by the EU and Britain. Such actions by the russians fall under criminal responsibility, as the ships do not receive permission from the Ukrainian border service, and Ukrainian authorities are absent in the occupied ports.
Meanwhile, the EU is discussing the need to restrict the import of agricultural products from russia and Belarus against the backdrop of farmers’ protests. Why this needs to be done and how russians steal Ukrainian grain during the occupation - in the material by Alisa Yurchenko.
