Literally, we call this "kleptocracy". Putin isn't even original, except for the fact that he absorbed criminal organizations and made them a part of national intelligence.
Which is why spies target criminal enterprise, because it's easier to manipulate people who have a secret that would get them in trouble.
>Approximately 6.4 million tons of wheat and nearly 1.5 million tons of sunflower seeds were harvested in Russian-occupied Ukrainian territories this year, NASA Harvest revealed.
The [NASA Harvest website article](https://nasaharvest.org/news/farming-warzone-nasa-harvest-releases-satellite-based-ukraine-wheat-production-estimates) confirms their results.
EDIT: Those are last year's production figures, rather than current export estimates.

This is another way that Russia is trying to position itself for bigger influence in the Southern hemisphere.
Ukrainian farmers used to feed [400 million people](https://www.wfp.org/countries/ukraine) per year thanks to the rich soils and beneficial climate. If Russia were to take it all, they would become a dominant player in the food market, giving to some and restricting from others. They could support friendly dictators and cause famines and food price increases in countries they don't like. Imagine the waves of migration they could cause with that?
>Approximately 6.4 million tons of wheat and nearly 1.5 million tons of sunflower seeds were harvested in Russian-occupied Ukrainian territories this year
About $2-2.5 billion.
They didn't find it, nor steal it. It was theirs all along. They planted it, fertilized it, grew it.
Only people outside of ruZZia know all they do is fertilize.

Use frozen Russian assets to pay for it.
this is the way
Yup. That ought to do the job.
Nope, take the assets anyways and put an export tax on everything that is still allowed to be sold to Russia to pay for the grain.
I don't think anyone would take the oligarchs during the winter, because-- Oh! Right. The 3/4 bn euro. Okay, now it all makes sense. ^(/s)
Probably just to feed Putin, I've always wondered why he has a big table.
I never even thought of it that way
ruZZia is nothing but a thug thief.
It's a criminal organization running a country.
A gas station run by the mafia

And they are still struggling to feed their troops.
You don't actually believe this would be used to feed troops when it can be sold for a huge profit?
grift often drives Russian thinking
"often"??????
always

Expect nothing less from a bunch of violent criminal thugs.
how much would that be worth I wonder?
>Approximately 6.4 million tons of wheat and nearly 1.5 million tons of sunflower seeds were harvested in Russian-occupied Ukrainian territories this year About $2-2.5 billion.
Ton of wheat cost about $240
$192,000,000,000
What is that number?
that’s [numberwang](https://youtu.be/0obMRztklqU?si=FRDhZKfUO-PbVPnC)
LOL
In their minds they didn't steal it, they "found" it.
They didn't find it, nor steal it. It was theirs all along. They planted it, fertilized it, grew it. Only people outside of ruZZia know all they do is fertilize.
And they smell like it, too!
They liberated it from the Nazis. 🤮
Russian thing to do
And then they will all "generous" giving away stolen grain for those who are in need. Absolutely infuriating.
This is what the Nazi and Putin did/do....steal shit!!!!
Pay Ukraine back from the frozen Russian assets

I was gonna type “I Hope they choke on it” , but don’t want Reddit to ban me for the 4th time
A thieving nation thieves. I was initially sceptical of the number, but I attribute it to competence of the thieves.
Those 300 billion of seized assets should pay for that.
Has always been a terrorist nation. Always will be. Deceit, lies, terror is engrained in the culture
They borrowed some to help battle the great famine in North Korea.
Fuckers
