The Russian aggressor apparently included in the “Crimean harvest” of 2022 part of the grain stolen from the south of mainland Ukraine. It is reported by the Association for the Reintegration of Crimea.

Thus, the Association draws attention to the fact that as of July 19, the propaganda of the occupiers stated that they had collected more than one million tons of grains and legumes in Crimea, with a general plan to collect up to 1.5 million tons.

“The same 1.5 million tons of grain were harvested in the occupied Crimea in 2021,” the report says..

But last year, the occupiers " With the use on the occupied peninsula of more outdated agricultural technologies, equipment and varieties of seeds in the best farms of the peninsula, the grain yield was “whole” 30 centners per hectare, while 42 centners in the neighboring Kherson region.

This was reported by the first deputy chairman of the Kherson Regional Council Yuriy Sobolevsky.

By the way, on August 1, occupiers in the Kherson region stole a barge from the Nibulon company, which traditionally transported watermelons from Kherson to Kyiv..

Recall that Alexei Vadatursky could have been purposefully killed.

This opinion was expressed by the Prosecutor General of Ukraine Andriy Kostin, who clarified that the intentional murder is considered as one of the versions of what happened.. A survey of more than 50 people has already been conducted, several examinations are planned.
