The occupiers are taking millions of tons of new grain from farmers in the temporarily occupied territories, the Ministry of Agrarian Policy reported. Minister Mykola Solskyi said farmers harvested 20 million tons of grain and oil crops before the territories were occupied. These regions traditionally have plenty of winter wheat and barley. “This means that the amount of misuse of the new harvest is calculated in millions of tons. These are crimes of a different nature, but in any case, – stealing,” the minister said. According to Solskyi, farmers who have received support from the Ukrainian government and those who refuse to reregister their activities and cooperate with occupation authorities suffer the most from the occupiers.
