The Russian occupiers are not only stealing grain from Ukraine, but also planning to export 70% of the harvest from the occupied territories to Russia, as well as solve their demographic problems at the expense of abducted Ukrainian youth.

Details: According to the representative of the Ukrainian Chief Intelligence Directorate, the occupying forces in the Kherson region and part of Zaporizhzhia "gave an ultimatum" to local farmers that everything that will be produced in these regions will be taken to Russia.

Quote: "Undoubtedly, the occupiers had been very surprised by the issue of land distribution. Issuance of land to the population, shares. The first question they were very surprised at: ‘Why don't you have collective farms? Take everything, return everything to the collective farms. And all the harvest that will be collected - 30% remains for you, 70% goes to Russia.’

This is a return to the times of collectivization, the times of the Soviet Union, when this was the arrangement in these territories. "

Details: Skibitsky is convinced that this policy on the part of Russia will lead to the depletion of the occupied territories.

According to him, the search continues for pro-Ukrainian and patriotic people, which may "hinder the organisation of Russia's plans in the occupied territories.".

In addition, Skibitsky reported about the deportation of children, adolescents and young people from the occupied regions.

Quote: "There is a deportation of our population from the occupied territories to the territory of the Russian Federation, and at the same time huge attention is paid to such categories as children, teenagers, youth.

Why? Because we understand that young people are an opportunity for Russia, and can be placed in their educational institutions, including military educational institutions, and this is the contingent that the Russian Federation will use later.

Accordingly, this is a young population that can be sent to any region of Russia in order to restore or fill the gaps in the population that exist in remote areas of Russia, Siberia, the Far East. And we really see this picture."
