The suspicion was reported to Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Patrushev, who organized a mass theft of grain from the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine.

This was reported by the press service of the SBU, Censor.NET reports .

Since the beginning of the full-scale war, under the coordination of a Russian government official, the Russians have exported over 4 million tons of Ukrainian grain crops to the Russian Federation for a total amount of over 23 billion hryvnias.

“As the investigation established, this is a large-scale plundering of agricultural enterprises by the occupiers in the temporarily occupied territories of Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhia and Kherson regions. The enemy subsequently sold the plundered agricultural products via the Russian “shadow fleet” to the countries of the Middle East and North Africa under the guise of Russian goods,” the report says.

Dmitry Patrushev is the son of Putin’s aide Nikolai Patrushev, who previously headed the FSB and then the Security Council of the Russian Federation.

“It was Patrushev “senior” who lobbied for the appointment of his son to the position of Minister of Agriculture of Russia and later Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian government. To organize the theft of Ukrainian grain, Dmitry Patrushev used the powers delegated to him as the Minister of Agricultural Policy of the aggressor country,” the SBU added.

Currently, he has been notified in absentia of suspicion under Part 2 of Article 28, Part 1 of Article 438 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (war crimes committed by a group of persons in a prior conspiracy).
