At night, the occupiers attacked the Vilnyan region of the Zaporizhzhia region with S300 missiles, – Starukh

The enemy continues to carry out insidious night attacks on the free lands of the Zaporizhzhia region.

Oleksandr Starukh, the head of the Zaporizhia Regional Military Administration, announced this.

According to him, today after midnight, the enemy attacked the Vilnius region with S300 missiles. Buildings of three enterprises and cars were damaged as a result of the strikes.

“Fortunately, people remained unharmed. Despite all the tricks of the enemy, we continue to strengthen the defense and move towards victory!” – the message reads.

In Melitopol, the invaders handed over a large industrial enterprise to the Leningrad company

The division of the Melitopol property by the invaders is in full swing. The largest enterprises in Melitopol go to businessmen from Russia.

To redistribute property in the annexed territory of the Zaporozhye region, the government of the Russian Federation created a special commission, whose tasks include recognizing Ukrainian property as “mismanaged” and transferring it to “new owners.” This robbery is carried out in an emergency mode and in violation of all known laws under the guise of “martial law”, when “simple civil laws do not work.” For a while, until the “squeezed out” enterprises and companies are officially re-registered for new owners, “temporary administrations” are introduced on them by decrees of the Gauleiters. Thus, for example, a network of well-known furniture stores in Melitopol was transferred to the management of a company from the unrecognized LPR.

The most “delicious”, potentially the most profitable enterprises of Melitopol are transferred not to some fake sharashka offices from unrecognized quasi-republics, but directly to “dear Russian partners”.

Thus, the owner of the Tauride foundry company TALCO and OOO Melitopol foundry received a copy of the order of the occupation administration to recognize his enterprises as “mismanaged” and transfer them under the control of a Russian company.

The order was signed by the main Kremlin “overseer” in the Zaporozhye region, the so-called head of the government of the Zaporizhzhya regional military administration, Anton Koltsov. According to the document, a limited liability company from the Leningrad Region is transferred to the management of Tauride Casting Company TALKO LLC, one of the leading Ukrainian manufacturers of aluminum castings. specializes in aluminum die casting, high pressure and low pressure. The enterprise has its own mechanical assembly shops, produces a wide range of products, from finished parts and assemblies for the automotive and agricultural engineering to cast aluminum utensils.

Also, the Melitopol Foundry enterprise is transferred to the Russian company, the capacity of which makes it possible to produce up to 300 tons of high-quality cast iron, steel and aluminum casting products per month, weighing from 0.1 to 1000 kilograms. The company produces parts for mechanical engineering, machine tools, agricultural machinery, railway transport, as well as water pumps, potbelly stoves and, for example, sports equipment such as weights and barbells. MLZ and Talco are connected with each other by a common production process.

Both enterprises appeared earlier in the lists of “mismanaged property” of the occupiers, standing in line for “nationalization”. By the way, according to available information in the Talco office building at st. Kakhovskoye shosse, 4, Gauleiter E. Balitsky was hiding from the partisans for some time.

Meanwhile, in occupied Melitopol, collaborators mark their stores, kiosks, and themselves with the swastika Z.

How Russia exports grain from the occupied Zaporizhzhia region and sells it abroad

The terrorist country Russia illegally traded grain from the occupied territory of Ukraine. One of the leaders of the operation to steal agricultural products is Nikita Busel, the founder of two hotels and a chain of coffee shops in Russia. Until the summer, the businessman was in the temporarily occupied Zaporizhzhia region, he was elected general director of the so-called of the new Russian company “State Grain Operator”.

This is according to an investigation by the Financial Times with reference to a set of documents, including invoices, cargo manifests, receipts and certificates of origin. They testify to the export of one of the consignments of grain from the occupied Zaporizhzhia region to the world market. The documents, which track a 2,675 metric ton shipment of food wheat, were corroborated by satellite imagery, traffic transponder data, boat sightings in northern Turkey and interviews with smugglers and traders.

The “State grain operator” operator started advertising on social networks and invited farmers to “cooperate”, selling grain through delivery points at a set price. In a promotional video sent to farmers, Busel stands in front of a Russian train being filled with Ukrainian grain. The voice-over proudly announces that farmers are now supported and buyers have been found in Russia, Syria, Turkey and Iran.

Owners and managers of Ukrainian agribusinesses who fled the occupied region reported that this company resells grain stolen from their warehouses or harvested from fields they previously owned. “They came up with the government, and then they came up with this company too… claiming that it would be engaged in the purchase of grain. They seized our warehouses… And now they are doing so-called business there. Farmers have no choice. Either hand over the grain, or it will be taken from them,” said the head of one expropriated Berdyan enterprise.

The “State Grain Operator” is still operating because every week it publishes lists of prices per ton, at which it buys agricultural products from local farmers. In August, local authorities said the region exports about 5,000 tons of grain a day by rail and about 1,500-2,000 tons by road. “We find an abandoned asset, go in and take this enterprise under security control, conduct a full inventory. We are creating conditions for employees to continue working,” Busel said in the commercial, actually confirming that the company appropriates Ukrainian assets.

As recently as August 13, occupation officials signed documents to allow the export of 2,675 metric tons of food wheat through Berdyansk. To convince potential buyers that the grain is safe, meets sanitary standards and is properly processed, the city authorities have prepared many documents about its origin.

On another document signed on the same day, the ship’s captain, Viktor Smolskyi, printed a short note: “I, the captain of the vessel PAWELL, flag – SYRIA, declare the termination of loading… The ship is loaded to full capacity.”

However, Syrian-flagged vessels such as the Powell frequently visit occupied Ukrainian ports, often delivering cargo directly to Syria.

Powell belongs to a company registered in Britain. Powell Shipping Co LLP is registered at a nominal address in Bloomsbury (Central London).

Readings from the vessel’s AIS transponder, a device that broadcasts its location to other vessels, show Powell arrived in the Kerch Strait on July 31. Then suddenly, in the early evening of August 10, he turned off the alarm and disappeared from the radar. Powell reappeared two days after the ship was loaded with grain in Berdyansk, according to the documents.

In the new documents, the port of departure is no longer the occupied Ukrainian port of Berdyansk, but the port of Kavkaz, a Russian hub now infamous for laundering illegal shipments of grain from Ukraine. The Russian company Geos played a key role in the delivery by the Powell vessel. Its owner, Russian businessman Igor Pozhidayev, worked for many years in the grain trade in Crimea and beyond.

Pozhidayev admits that his business transported grain, but categorically denies that the grain came from occupied Ukraine, describing any documents that purportedly suggest otherwise as “false.” “This grain has nothing to do with Zaporizhzhia or Ukraine. This concerns the port of Kavkaz, for which there are all relevant documents, starting from the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation and ending with contracts with the farmers who grew it, from whom I bought it, along with all invoices and receipts and so on,” said the businessman.

At the beginning of August, around the same time that Powell was in the Kerch Strait, businessman Akbar Asgarov received a call from an associate of an old friend. According to his own words, the Azerbaijani businessman, the owner of an Istanbul construction company called Northwest Group Yapı, had no experience in the grain business. But the caller was from Geos, and suggested that Asgarov could take Powell’s shipment and find buyers for it in Turkey. “They called me and said: ‘We have these goods from Russia, from Novorossiysk,'” Asgarov said.

He told them he was interested in trying to sell it. Powell arrived at the port of Samsun (Turkey) on September 3, carrying the documents of the port of Kavkaz. Asgarov thought he had found a buyer willing to pay $380 per ton for wheat. But after the drop in wheat prices, the customer refused. “I said, ‘Come on, bro, let’s cancel, I can’t help anything in this matter,'” he recalls.

Asgarov says that he had no idea that the grain could come from the occupied territory of Ukraine. “We stay away from inappropriate deals,” he added.

Powell did not stay long in Samsun. After the failed sale to Northwest Group Yapı, she moved a little further along the coast to the small Turkish seaside town of Sinop. When it reappeared a few weeks later in the eastern part of the Black Sea, it was sitting higher in the water – the ship had lost its grain.

Turkish buyers may not have wanted to buy the cargo not only because of the price, but also because of the fear of having problems with the Ukrainian authorities. “Thanks to rumors, including yours… I had problems with sales in Turkey,” said Pozhidayev.

The final destination of Powell’s cargo was the lightly monitored eastern Turkish port of Hopa, near the border with Georgia, on September 26. Pozhidayev declined to confirm where the grain was sold, other than that it was in Turkey. “In the end, I sold the cargo. It is sold, and the Turks are quite satisfied with the Russian documents I gave them. What you are digging – what was it in Berdyansk? – it’s all nonsense,” he said.

Propaganda instead of repair: in the Melitopol district, the occupiers are disfiguring schools

Racists continue to engage in vandalism in the Melitopol district. Now they started plastering walls in schools.

Depicting the stormy activity, the fans of the “Russian world” started a fight against the most terrible and dangerous enemy – the Ukrainian flag painted on the wall of the gymnasium of the Priazov school. The enemy turned out to be so strong that the Rashists could attack only as a group. They even called a “journalist” of the local propaganda TV, who introduced himself as Oleg Dmitriev, to videotape their feat. It is true that Gore-journalist is more like a student of this institution, but, however, this does not prevent him from willingly serving the occupiers at such a young age.

Traditionally, the creative talents of the Rashists are enough only to depict the Russian tricolor wherever possible. For more complex things, they either did not allocate funds for paint, or they obviously lack imagination. This is how the collaborators and their Russian masters see the “improvement of life” of the local residents they “saved” from the “bandero-fascists”. After all, the main problem of people in the occupied territories is not the lawlessness of the invaders, unemployment and exorbitantly high prices, but the Ukrainian flag on the walls of the local school.

The school in Priazov region that suffered from an act of vandalism is not the first and not the last victim of the occupiers. They are not going to stop the “promotion” of repainting Ukrainian symbols, especially if you can make a career out of such trifles. After all, by committing such petty misdeeds, traitors try to find a place for themselves among the warm and fragrant “Russian world”. But as practice shows, the propaganda slogan “Russia is here forever” is just an empty sound, so these “painters” and hundreds of other collaborators will still face Ukrainian justice.

Meanwhile, in the Melitopol district, the occupiers forced local residents to sing Russian songs in honor of their holiday.
