Right in Belarus: Rape Rapese from Kherson Region - media

There are several companies that are engaged in the export of agricultural products from the captured part of the Ukrainian region and these firms were created after 2022, investigators share. One is related to Chechnya officials. Businessmen, which are connected with the environment of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov and the party "Edina Rossia", began to export agro -production from the occupied part of the Kherson region. The product is placed in Belarus.

This is stated in a joint investigation of the Belarusian Investigative Center (BRC), Kiborg hackers and the Project of Radio Liberty. Ukrainian cyberfhachivtsi received access to the data of the Russian Federal State Information System "Grain". Manufacturers should enter information about agricultural supplies. This made it possible to find out that during 2023 from the occupied part of the Kherson region, the enemy removed at least 4.

9 thousand tons of rapeseed, and all deliveries were to Belarus. This scheme was attended by the Russian company LLC "Torgtrade". Last year, its representatives were removed from the captured part of the region of 113 parties of winter rapeseed with a total weight of 2. 6 thousand tons. Most of the goods, according to leaking documents, was intended for delivery of the Belarusian OJSC "Novoelnyansky Mezhreagrosnab".

Journalists managed to comment from the director of the company Vadim Alekseev, who confirmed the so -called export of products from Kherson region. At the same time he complains that he has to give bribes to Russian soldiers on departure from the region. "Crimea, Kherson region, Zaporizhzhia - the main [sunflower seeds and/or rapeseed - ed. ] Equally in me . . . They (the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation - Ed.

) Stop the car and require documents, they require documents for cargo and say: there must be a pass . The authors of the investigation also managed to find out that Torgtrade belongs to the 77-year-old resident of Chechnya Rosi Akhmedivna Mellaev, and there is no evidence that she personally owns this business. The firm was registered only in 2022 in the city of Grozny, and if at first the revenue was 50 thousand rubles (693 euros, - ed. ), It increased to 200. 6 million rubles in the year (2.

16 million euros - ed. ). The journalists decided to call the corner of Mollaeva, who owned a business, but a man named Tamerlan Berikhanov answered at the number of Russian bases. He, continuing the investigators, was registered with a woman at one address in Chechnya. During the conversation, he introduced himself "the master of all this, and in Belarus in particular.

" Investigators came across Tamerlan Berikhanov's page on LinkedIn's social network and stated there that he worked at the Grozny Finance Department. It was also possible to find information that the man was booking flights for Rosa Mellaeva and Zurab Isaev. The latter is a member of the influential family in Chechnya. The father of Zurab Isaev, Salaudin Abubakarovich, is the native brother of Eli and Hussein Isaev.

The first of them is a high -ranking Russian official who holds the position of Deputy Chief of the Federal Treasury of the Russian Federation. At the same time, he began his career at the time when Chechnya was the head of Akhmat Kadyrov, Ramzan's father. Hussein Isaev held the post of Chechnya State Council Chairman and died with Akhmato Kadyrov in 2004 during an explosion at Dynamo stadium.

"Was Tamerlan Berikkhanov's acquaintance with Zurab Isaev a circumstance, which allowed the recently created company to take a niche in business for Ukrainian grain export from Russia occupied by Russia, and journalists could not confirm the calls at the time of material. Isaev did not answer. " Tamerlan Berikkhanov on the question of journalists about where agro -production from the captured Ukrainian regions in Belarus replied that the goods were going to Torgtrade.

It is not about sales, because everything goes to the plant "Trill Expert". "Trilial Expert" is an enterprise of Belarus. The BCC journalist, who used the legend that she is an official in the Heron region, contacted the co -owner of the plant Igor Yakubovich. He replied that Tamerlan Berikhanov could be responsible for the interests of the firm, and his company processes the resulting rapeseed into oil. "We bring it to different countries: in Israel and Malaysia.

So here and in Belarus we buy a lot from us," - said Igor Yakubovich. Investigators found the second Russian company, which appears in rapeseed seeds to the territory of Belarus from the captured part of Ukraine. It is about LLC "Agrotrade", which carries the goods for the following enterprises of Belarus: "Novobelitsky Combinat of Khleboproducts" and LLC "Agroprodukt". One of the places of origin of agricultural products is the Kherson region.

Agrotrade was registered only in 2023, and during this time the company's revenue amounted to 163. 4 million rubles (1. 77 million euros), but if we talk about net profit, the amount is lower - 7. 4 million rubles (80. 2 thousand euros). The director of the Russian company is the former Ukrainian businessman Anton Tikhomirov, who since 2024 began to cooperate with the Russians and held various positions in the occupied Crimea.

For example, from April 2015 to November 2016 he was the secretary of the Yalta local branch of the Edina Rossia party, and then for about a year and was at all Deputy Head of Yalta Occupation Administration, taking care of transport, communications, communication, youth and sports. In 2015, his wife, Jan Tikhomirov in 2015, was met with a smile of former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and the "head of the occupied Crimea" Sergei Aksenov.

The third company that was engaged in the export of products from the Kherson region is called LLC "Veles-Agro". The journalists were able to find 53 rapeseed parties with a total weight of 1171 tons, which were intended for the Belarusian enterprises of CJSC "Regionrapsagroservis" and the above mentioned LLC "Agroprodukt". Russian individual entrepreneur Oleksiy Lukyanchenko from Barnaul was not bypassed by the admired Ukrainian region and in general removed 9 parties of rapeseed weighing 289.

3 tons for the Bellorussian OJSC "Gomelhleboproduct" - "Novobelitsky KHP". "All parties were formed in April 2023 in the village of Novotroitske, Kherson region. To communicate with Alexei Lukyanchenko failed: journalists did not call any of the ten related telephone numbers with him," - the message reads. Journalists tried to contact those who were involved in the export of agricultural products, but most did not respond to a request at the time of material publication.

The lawyer of the Regional Human Rights Center Kateryna Rashevskaya states that the above facts are a robbery of property or in other words - a war crime. At the same time, cases where Ukrainian farmers do not steal in occupation and buy goods, require additional analysis. "In order to establish unlawfulness, it is necessary to evaluate at what price grain is purchased from farmers. If it is not market, it may indicate in favor of robbery as a war crime.

And also the circumstances in which farmers began to cooperate with the Russians: coercion, intimidation, lack of alternative markets For the sale of grain, which can be clarified in favor of committing a crime of looting, " - summed up Kateryna Rashevskaya. We will remind, on August 2 it was reported that Russian invaders began to export Ukrainian grain to Iran, as stated in the center of national resistance.
