Russians take grain from Ukrainian farmers for nothing

In the occupied territories of Ukraine, the Russians continue to implement a corrupt scheme for the sale of Ukrainian farmers’ grain.

Thus, all farmers of the captured regions must hand over wheat grain to the enemy at a fixed price, several times lower than the market price, reports the Center of National Resistance.

In particular, grain of a higher grade is taken for 9 thousand rubles (3.6 thousand UAH) per ton, and lower grade – for 6.3 thousand rubles (2.56 thousand UAH). Note that the average price of fodder grain (lower grade) in Ukraine is currently UAH 5,000 per ton.

At the same time, the above-mentioned prices per ton in the occupied territories work only if the farmer has a Russian business registration. However, most farmers have either left the region or have not registered their businesses under Russian law.

Therefore, the latter are forced to sell their grain on the “black market” for 4.5-5 thousand rubles per ton to speculators, who then hand it over to the occupation administration. That is, there is a scheme in which the middleman buys grain for nothing and sells it to the occupiers at a higher price, and they sell it on.

At the same time, the sole grain operator also sells grain not at a higher price than it was bought for “necessary firms” from the viewpoint of collaborators. And they already sell the grain further at world prices, and the difference settles in the pockets of Gauleiter.

Therefore, the enemy actually takes grain from Ukrainian farmers for nothing, and at the same time uses this situation to force farm owners to re-register their businesses.
