Looting Officially: Russia intends to steal grain and other products from occupied Ukraine
Alyona Mazurenko - Thursday, 28 April 2022, 01:05 Russian Krasnoyarsk Krai (administrative unit, federal subject of Russia) has decided to replenish its own fund of agricultural products through illegal supplies from the occupied territories of Ukraine. Source: Press Service of the Legislative Assembly of the Krasnoyarsk Krai Quote: "Deputies [present] at the meeting almost unanimously supported the decision to import grain from the Kherson region, which was partially taken under the control of the Russian Federation Armed Forces." "As there is only one cucumber plant in the region, and the shortage of other vegetables and grains due to foreign sanctions is acute not only in Krasnoyarsk Krai but also at the federal level, the expropriation of last year's surplus and current crops of Kherson region will become one of the tools providing assistance to small businesses, consumer cooperatives." Details: The representative of the aggressor state, the head of the Russian committee Vladislav Zyrianov said that his "colleagues" from other regions of Russia should be able to "successfully" further implement "such an experience." Quote: "Despite the fact that logistics involve long-distance sea and land transportation, this approach will be 'economically justified,' given that many seeds and fertilisers suppliers have departed from the Russian market, as well as significant heat and electricity costs for growing vegetables and fruit." "After achieving all the goals of Russia's military operation in Ukraine, it will also be possible to increase supplies to Russia's domestic consumer by moving food from other southern regions taken under control." Background: Kherson and part of the region are under temporary Russian occupation. The aggressors plan to hold a pseudo-referendum on the so-called "People's Republic of Kherson." Agricultural machinery from the occupied Kherson region was transported to remote Russian lands, including Chechnya.
