As of May 2022, at least 400k tons of grain were stolen & smuggled from Russian-occupied Ukraine. https://globalrightscompliance.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/20231115-Grain-Report-External.pdf https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/article/russia-smuggling-ukraine-grain-putin-war/ https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2023/11/20/russian-theft-of-ukrainian-grain-likely-a-war-crime-legal-analysis-says-a83147 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/61790625 https://archive.today/20221030063237/https://www.ft.com/content/89b06fc0-91ad-456f-aa58-71673f43067b https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/ukraine-says-russia-stole-several-hundred-thousand-tonnes-grain-2022-04-30/
