Russian invaders in the occupied Kherson region are seemingly forcing the local population to sell up to 70% of their harvest to the Crimea, at prices that are ten times lower than the market prices.
The Defense Intelligence of the Defense Ministry of Ukraine has stated: "The enemy forces the population near Nova Kakhovka and Beryslav in Kherson region to sell 70% of harvest to buyers from Crimea. The purchase price is around 10% from the retail price. At the same time there is a ban on export of harvest to the territories controlled by Ukraine. We know about cases when entrepreneurs gave strawberries and sweet cherries to the local population for free."
