The Russian occupation administration continues to illegally use Ukrainian subsoil and land resources for its own enrichment. According to the invaders, they have already harvested 40 thousand tons of winter wheat from 17 thousand hectares of the occupied territory.

This situation reflects the latest actions of the Russian occupiers on the Ukrainian lands they have conquered. According to the National Resistance Center, Russians are ruthlessly exploiting Ukraine's natural resources for their own enrichment. One example of this is the illegal harvesting of winter wheat in Zaporizhzhia region.

According to guerrilla sources, the mechanism for Russians to obtain grain looks quite simple. Farmers have to hand over all their produce to the "State Grain Operator" at a price that is much lower than the market value. However, after that, the grain is illegally transferred to the ownership of the occupiers and other structures that resell it at market prices, making a huge profit from this difference.

In total, as of the end of September, the occupiers have already stolen 3.7 million tons of Ukrainian grain, including 1.4 million tons in Zaporizhzhia. All this grain is being taken away from farmers by the Russians for next to nothing.

This situation demonstrates the blatant violation of Ukraine's rights and the Russian occupiers' exploitation of Ukrainian land resources for their own benefit. The illegal use of Ukraine's natural resources is yet another example of Russia's aggressive activities in the occupied territories.
