Quote: "Like 100 years ago, Russia continues to plunder the seized lands and export everything it can reach from there. Convoys loaded with grain, which the enemy collected from Ukrainian soil, are departing from the temporarily occupied territories."

Details: In addition, in the occupied territories, there is a scheme where all farmers must provide grain to the Russians at a fixed price significantly lower than the market price. Subsequently, Russian-appointed officials resell the grain and pocket the difference. This difference serves as payment from the Kremlin for their "loyalty".

The National Resistance Center notes that anyone involved in stealing Ukrainian grain will not escape responsibility and is a legitimate target for the resistance movement.

The NRC asks that traitors be reported to the chatbot.
