CNN: evidences of Russia stealing grain
Russians steal Ukrainian grain from the Crimean port of Sevastopol. New images released by CNN would show two Russian ships in the Crimean port of Sevastopol loading what is believed to be stolen Ukrainian grain. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russia of stealing Ukrainian food products and trying to sell them.
New images from Maxar Technologies, dated May 19 and 21, show the ships, the Matros Pozynich and the Matros Koshka, docked alongside grain silos, with grain pouring from a belt into an open hold. According to naval tracking site MarineTraffic.com, both ships have left the port: the Matros Pozynich is sailing in the Aegean Sea, claiming to be headed for Beirut, while the Matros Koshka is still in the Black Sea.
The CNN points out that it is difficult to know for sure whether the ships were loaded with stolen Ukrainian grain, but Crimea, annexed to Russia, produces little grain, unlike the crop-rich Ukrainian regions of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia, immediately to the north. Ukrainian officials and industrial sources reported that Russian forces in the occupied areas have emptied several silos and transported the grain south.
The Ukrainian foreign minister today asked the international community to avoid buying from Russia:
Russian thieves steal Ukrainian wheat, load it onto ships, pass through the Bosphorus and try to sell it abroad. I ask all countries to be vigilant and to refuse such proposals. Don't buy what's stolen. Do not become complicit in Russian crimes. The theft has never brought anyone luck.

EU Commission speaking from the World Economic Forum in Davos, declared that Russia uses hunger and wheat to exercise power; Russian artillery bombs granaries all over Ukraine deliberately; Russian warships in the Black Sea block Ukrainian ships full of wheat and sunflower seeds. The concrete risk of a worsening of the food crisis already underway is around the corner, in a global context already severely affected by the devastating effects of climate change and the raw materials crisis due to the Covid-19 pandemic
