The Russian invaders are exporting oil from the Pologi oil extraction plant in the Zaporizhzhia region, which was preparing for shipment to its foreign partners. “The sunflower plant was preparing products for shipment to foreign partners who are already experiencing a shortage of high-quality Ukrainian products. Before the occupation, it was one of the largest budget-generating enterprises in the Pologi district,” said Ombudsman Lyudmila Denisova. Ukraine is the world’s largest producer and exporter of sunflower oil. However, since the beginning of Russia’s military aggression, exports have stopped, and Europe is already preparing for a shortage of this product.
