Russia integrates stolen Ukrainian territories into its agricultural strategy
Overall, according to Ukrainian intelligence, Russia has already stolen 15 million tons of Ukrainian grain since the beginning of the war. Ukraine plans to ask its Western allies to impose sanctions against importers of this stolen grain.
Considering the negative impact of such actions by Russia on Ukraine's agricultural sector, the government plans to appeal to the international community to impose sanctions against importers of stolen Ukrainian grain. This could lead to further isolation of Russian goods in the global market.
