A 15-kilometer queue of trucks with stolen Ukrainian grain formed on the Ukrainian-russian border.
The queue is observed in the Novoazovsk district. The absolute majority of trucks are with grain, said Petro Andryushchenko, adviser to the mayor of Mariupol.
“Grain is transported in awning trucks from the entire occupied part of Donetsk region. The rapid acceleration of state looting is due, in particular, to the accuracy of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which prevented the russians from stealing anything from an almost full elevator yesterday in Severodonetsk,” Andryushchenko told Telegram.
USM previously reported that vessels linked to russia’s largest grain trader were exporting thousands of tons stolen Ukrainian grain. Marauders used a complex system of feeder ships and floating cranes.
Ships carrying stolen Ukrainian grain are linked to russian businessman Pyotr Khodykin. The oligarch owns LLC “RIF Trading House”, the largest exporter of grain in russian federation.
Russians export Ukrainian grain to temporarily occupied Sevastopol. From there, small vessels transport the contraband to larger vessels waiting at sea. And then the grain is taken to the buyers.
