Russia plans to build a fleet for “more effective” theft of Ukrainian grain

The invaders plan to create their own cargo fleet in the occupied areas of the Zaporizhzhia region.

The Russian State Grain Operator plans to create its own cargo fleet in the occupied territory of the Zaporizhzhia region. Thus, the Russian Federation has recently faced an acute shortage of ships ready to enter the ports of Crimea and other occupied territories.

Reference: “State grain operator” is a company that the Russians created in the temporarily occupied areas of the Zaporizhzhia region. The enterprise is engaged in the “export” of stolen Ukrainian grain. During the year of its existence, the company shipped more than 600,000 tons of grain from the occupied territories.
