The Russians have registered 500 companies that export stolen grain on TOT

Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the Russians have registered about 500 companies in the occupied territories of Ukraine.

Stolen Ukrainian grain is exported through these companies, rosZMI reports.

A total of 892 agricultural companies have been registered in the occupied territories of Ukraine since February 2022.

Russians open companies to export Ukrainian grain. At least one of these enterprises belongs to Ramzan Kadyrov, a close associate of Putin.

In June 2022, it became known that Ukrainian grain from the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions is exported by rail and special trucks to Crimea. Sunflowers were exported in the same way. In 2023, the Russians exported almost five million tons of grain from the occupied territories.

Ukrainian farmers told reporters that the Russian military was taking their crops without offering them any money and forcing them to register with Russian-appointed “military-civilian administrations.” According to them, small and medium-sized entrepreneurs were forced to sell grain crops at very low prices.
