Putin’s invaders continue to steal Ukrainian grain. Satellite images from Maxar Technologies confirm that the Russians are stealing Ukrainian grain from ports. The photos are dated May 19 and 21. 

Using the ports of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the cities of Sevastopol, Russia exports the plundered Ukrainian grain to third countries by sea. In the pictures, two Russian ships, the Sailor Pozinich and the Sailor Cat, are moored next to something like grain silos, where grain is dumped from a conveyor belt into an open hold.

Earlier, the Matros Pozynich bulk carrier, which was already transporting stolen grain to Syria, returned to the Black Sea and was reloaded. After leaving the Crimean port, this vessel indicated the port of destination Beirut in Lebanon.

Russians also take grain from the warehouses of temporarily occupied Berdiansk, transport it to Crimea, and then to Russia. 

Lyudmyla Denisova, the Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights, wrote it in her Telegram channel. A convoy of grain trucks stolen from Asket Shipping was spotted on Melitopol Highway. Earlier, Asket Shipping refused to cooperate with the occupiers and moved its facilities to western Ukraine. 

Berdiansk residents counted more than 30 trucks with trailers filled with grain near the Azovkabel plant. The invaders are also trying to remove the remnants of grain from Mariupol port by rail. Urgent repairs works of the railway line in Mariupol and Sartana station have started.

As reported earlier, Russians tried to sell stolen Ukrainian grain.
