The aggressor country of russia is trying to organize the export of grain from the occupied Crimea with the participation of entities from the United States.
This was announced by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Telegram, Ukrainian News Agency reports.
"I also instructed the head of the Foreign Intelligence Service, Oleh Luhovskyi, to disseminate in a format that will not harm our sources the information obtained about russia's attempts to involve global companies in correcting the crisis financial situation and schemes to circumvent sanctions. In particular, we have unfortunately recorded attempts to organize the export of grain from the temporarily occupied territory of Crimea, as well as other economic exploitation of the peninsula with the participation of entities from the United States," he said.
Zelenskyy noted that Ukraine will inform its partners about this.
He added that intelligence is also recording attempts to bring investments and technologies from the countries of the democratic world into russian oil and gas Arctic projects.
In addition, Zelenskyy said that intelligence reports on Russia's reduction in active oil wells and oil refining by at least 10% in just a few months this year, as well as data on the banking crisis in russia.
"We see that our Ukrainian long-range sanctions are really working, and we will increase this direction of our active actions," he noted.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko previously reported that after Ukraine took a set of procedural measures, the russian vessel Panormitis with stolen Ukrainian grain left Israeli territorial waters.
In May, Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha reported that Egypt continues to accept stolen Ukrainian grain, despite Ukraine's request to arrest the vessel and its cargo.
