Satellite images show Russian ‘ghost ships’ smuggling stolen Ukrainian grain through the Black Sea, report says

• Satellite images have captured Russian “ghost ships” docking in a Black Sea port, report says.
• The ships are believed to be transporting stolen Ukrainian grain.
• The ships apparently turned off their tracking devices so they couldn’t be detected.
An image showing suspected Russian ‘ghost ships’ moored in the Russian-occupied Ukrainian port of Sevastopol in September, 2022. The image appears to show Russian “ghost ships” suspected of transporting stolen Ukrainian grain at a shipping terminal in the Black Sea.
The 140 images obtained by investigative outlet Bellingcat appear to show the ships at the Avlita terminal in the port of Sevastopol in the Russian-occupied Crimean peninsula in southern Ukraine.
Under shipping law, vessels must have their satellite transponders turned on while at sea to show their location.
Data from transponders suggests that very few have visited Avlita in recent years. However the images analysed by Bellingcat tell a different story.
The outlet identified 179 days during the first year after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 when ships were present at the terminal with their transponders turned off.
A ship detection tool using satellite radars was also used to identify vessels at the terminal.
The investigation apparently backs up reports by the BBC, The Associated Press and other news organisations showing that Russia is using the Avlita terminal to transport stolen Ukrainian grain.
According to a BBC investigation last year, the grain is stolen by the Russian military in farmland in Ukraine it has occupied, loaded into trucks, and transported to Russia or to Crimea.
In Crimea, it is mixed with Russian grain and given a fake export certificate, the report said. It is then transported on “ghost ships.”
The ultimate destination of the ships is unclear, and many ports refuse to dock Crimean ships carrying grain, but some of them were detected at Syrian ports, Bellingcat reported.
The Ukrainian government in April accused Russia of stealing “several hundred thousand tonnes” of grain in the wake of last year’s invasion, and Russia denied the accusation, Reuters reported.
Funny how Zelensky conducts his offensive while saying he has to wait to conduct the offensive. Good technique … if it fails his people can say… :that wasn’t our offensive”.
As a bonus it yields more opportunities to cry out “GIBS-ME-DAT Support MONEY”
Gets better everyday!
It's happening! Ukraine's President Zelensky has met with executives from BlackRock to auction off Ukraine for profit. He solicited this in a recent speech and now it is happening. In case you were wondering who would be enriched by this war: big business. Not you.
Wagner still occupies 95% of Bakhmut, including most of the high ground there. Everyone is cheerleading the Uks as they get slaughtered along with the Rooskies. Only the WEF wins.
Off topic, but is that group of thugs pronounced “Vagner” or “Wagner”?
Big business is always enriched by war.... always.
It’s an expensive business. The Ukraine is a goldmine for the contractor class and defense industrial complex.
The “costs” of the war in dollars will be nothing compared to the rebuilding effort and you can inflate the prices because the politicians on both sides will get their cut first.
“Vagner” or “Wagner”? Maybe both! LOL

Winning and losing is an inherent fact of war. The clashes between two armies and all the factors that influence these clashes determine the winner or loser of the war. Winning is undoubtedly possible by believing in victory. Believing in victory means fighting for the independence and territorial integrity of the country. A detailed analysis of the developments in the Russia-Ukraine war clearly shows that Russia lost. In the first days of the invasion of Ukraine, the Russian army lost most of the territory it occupied.
This is because the soldiers in the Russian army learned the truth as the war continued. The war was being fought for Putin’s personal interests and political career. Soldiers who did not want to die for this naturally lost faith in victory. Because the war was not for the independence and integrity of the country, but for Putin’s ambition!
Russia, which is losing on the front line and constantly experiencing problems within its own army, is becoming exhausted day by day. The soldiers of the Ukrainian army, who believe in victory, are cornering the Russian invaders with their operations. The cornered Russian army is forced to leave the occupied territories. Recently, a Ukrainian military leader claimed that the occupying Russian authorities in the Kherson region had started to leave the region.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine made a new statement confirming this claim! The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine announced on its social media accounts the other day that the occupying authorities serving in the city of Skadovsk in the Kherson region have left the city!
Before moving on to this statement, let’s talk about the importance of the Kherson region and what happened in this region in the past! The Kherson region was the first major region captured by the Russian occupiers. It was captured in the first months of the war and was liberated from the invaders in November as a result of the successful offensive of the Ukrainian army. The Russian army withdrew hundreds of thousands of troops from Kherson in November 2022, but left a limited number of troops in the region. Because this region had a strategic value that would affect the course of the war.

Commander-in-Chief of Armed Forces of Ukraine Valeriy Zaluzhnyi explained why Russia invaded and what it expected in Ukraine.
According to Censor.NET, in an interview with journalist Dmitry Komarov , Valery Zaluzhny explained the intentions and expectations of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
“The strategic goal of the Russian Federation, in my opinion, was to destroy Ukrainian statehood as such. Apparently, they were counting on the fact that they would come in organised columns, people would meet them with bread and salt, and that would be the end of Ukrainian statehood. But Ukrainians began to resist, Ukrainians began to defend themselves. As of today, they are coming here from Russia to deliberately kill Ukrainians, to kill them,” Zaluzhny said.
