Russians stealing grain

Following the onset of full-scale invasion, the Russian forces took control of parts of Ukrainian territories.

Specifically, the enemy is actively exporting grain from there and then selling it to other countries.

According to Western media reports, Russians transport grain from Crimea. Most often, it is purchased by countries in the Middle East.

Recently, against this backdrop, agriculture ministers from Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Poland, and Czechia proposed to the European Union to ban grain imports from Russia.
