The invaders intensified the transportation of goods by landing craft
Other ships of the Black Sea Fleet of Russia do not go to sea, they are only moved from berth to berth to avoid strikes by the Armed Forces.
The invaders of Crimea transport military cargo in small landing craft across the Sevastopol Bay. This was reported by the informants of Crimean Wind.
On the left in the photo is the landing craft of project 1176 “Shark”, Soviet development in 1971. Only two such boats remained in the Black Sea Fleet of Russia. On the right – a landing craft of the “Serna” project. The Black Sea Fleet also has two such ships. Behind, near the piers, the command ship “Slavutich” and the large amphibious assault ship “Kostyantyn Olshansky” captured by the Russians in 2014 can be seen.
At the same time, in Sevastopol, dozens of trucks with stolen Ukrainian grain are waiting in line for unloading near the grain terminal “Avlita”. Then the grain is transferred to ships and sent to Iran or Syria.
According to investigators, since 2022, the Kremlin has sold at least 4 million tons of grain and other products from the occupied Ukrainian territories to international markets, earning more than $800 million.
According to the estimates of the non-profit organization Texty, the total value of Ukrainian grain stolen by Russia is about 6.4 billion dollars.
USM recently wrote that in 2024, the occupiers exported more than 180,000 tons of grain through the port of Mariupol.
