Quote from Haidai: "The objective is a Holodomor. The occupiers bombed the elevator in Rubizhne from the air. Satellite images from Planet Lab show that powerful Russian bombs were dropped on the territory of Golden AGRO LLC in Rubizhne. A grain elevator complex opened in 2020 has been totally destroyed."
Details: Haidai said that Golden AGRO had a laboratory with state-of-the-art equipment, including an express analyser that provided accurate and rapid analyses of all crops, as well as a grain dryer with a capacity of 1,500 tonnes per day, a separator, weighbridges and an automatic sampler.
The elevator complex could store 30,000 tonnes of grain.
Haidai also recalled that in the occupied cities there have been cases of Ukrainian grain being exported to Russia. And earlier, the invaders destroyed all the food warehouses in Sievierodonetsk.
Background:
- On 1 May, Russian missiles in the Synelnykove district destroyed two agribusiness warehouses: one empty, the other full of grain.
- On 2 May, Russian troops again launched missile strikes on the Dnipropetrovsk Region, hitting a grain warehouse.
