The Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) and the Prosecutor General's Office have collected evidence against Dmitry Patrushev, vice prime minister of the aggressor country, the russian federation, who organized a mass theft of grain from temporarily occupied regions of Ukraine. This is stated in the SSU report.
According to law enforcement officials, since the beginning of the full-scale war, under the coordination of a russian government official, the russians have taken out to the aggressor country more than 4 million tons of Ukrainian grain crops for a total amount of more than UAH 23 billion.
The investigation showed that this is a large-scale plundering by the occupiers of agricultural enterprises in the temporarily occupied territories of the Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson Regions.
Later, the enemy sold the looted agricultural products to the countries of the Middle East and North Africa under the guise of russian goods by the "shadow fleet" of the russian federation.
The SSU also noted that Dmitry Patrushev is the son of the "gray cardinal" of the Kremlin, Nikolai Patrushev, who for a quarter of a century headed first the FSB, and then the Security Council of the russian federation, and currently holds the position of assistant to dictator putin.
According to the data available to law enforcement officers, it was senior Patrushev who lobbied for the appointment of his son to the position of Minister of Agriculture of russia and later - vice prime minister of the russian government.
To organize the theft of Ukrainian grain, Dmitry Patrushev used the powers delegated to him as the Minister of Agricultural Policy of the aggressor country.
Based on the evidence collected, the investigators of the Security Service in absentia served him with suspicion under Part 2 of Article 28, Part 1 of Article 438 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (war crimes committed by a group of persons in a preliminary conspiracy).
"Since the perpetrator is on the territory of the aggressor country, comprehensive measures are underway to bring him to justice," the SSU noted.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, the SSU previously detained Chinese spies in Kyiv who were collecting technologies for the production of Neptun missiles.
