Russia has stolen almost 4 million tons of Ukrainian grain since the beginning of the full-scale invasion

The Russian Federation sells Ukrainian grain to sanctioned countries.

This was reported by the president of the Ukrainian Grain Association Mykola Gorbachev, Censor.NET reports citing the association’s press service.

“Ships come for stolen grain like criminals – at night: they disable GPS trackers, pass like invisible men, load, and then leave in an unknown direction. However, the maritime traffic program allows us to track where these ships are going, how much and what they are carrying. Ukraine records all the facts,” he explained.

According to the president of the association, sometimes countries refuse to buy stolen grain. In particular, there was a case when Libya refused to buy it. Therefore, it is becoming increasingly difficult for Russia to sell stolen goods.

In addition, Russia steals not only Ukrainian grain, but also buyers.

“During the war, Russia is using the mechanism of blocking Ukraine as a major exporter to work in the countries of our traditional sales. While Ukraine pays billions for downtime, Russia has no downtime. Their offer to the client may seem better,” Gorbachev said.
