Russian invaders steal Ukrainian products from the temporarily occupied territories of Zaporizhia region

Their next victim was the Pologi Oil Extraction Plant.

Oil is currently being exported from there.  The company was preparing for shipment to foreign partners who are already experiencing a shortage of high-quality Ukrainian products.

Prior to the occupation, it was one of the largest budget-generating enterprises in the Pologi district.

Ukraine is the world's largest producer and exporter of sunflower oil.  Since the beginning of Russia's military aggression, exports have stopped.  Europe is already preparing for a shortage of this product.

The theft of food from the occupied territories violates the 1949 Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War and War Crimes under Article 8 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.

I appeal to the UN Commission for Investigation Human Rights Violations during Russia's military invasion of Ukraine to take into account these facts of war crimes and human rights violations in Ukraine.
