Russian theft of Ukrainian grain

During the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian War, which began in 2014 with the illegal annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation and the War in Donbas (2014—2022), and expanded with the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine since 24 February 2022, Russian troops in the occupied regions of Ukraine have systematically stolen grain and other products from local farmers. As of May 2022, at least 400,000 tons of grain were stolen and exported from Russian-occupied Ukraine according to the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence, with the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine similarly estimating a theft of 'several hundred thousand tonnes' of grain at the end of April 2022.
