According to CNN, 27 agricultural vehicles such as combines and tractors sold at local agricultural vehicle dealers have been requisitioned by the Russian army. Agricultural vehicles worth about $ 5 million were all housed in surveillance cameras where they could be put on military trucks with a white Z on them.

GPS onboard agricultural vehicles revealed that Russian trucks had moved 700 miles (about 1100 km) away to rural Chechnya. However, according to an anonymous informant, all agricultural vehicles stolen from Melitopol were locked remotely, so the Russian army could not even turn on the agricultural vehicles.

As a result, none of the stolen vehicles are in operation and are hidden in a farm on the outskirts of Grozny, the capital of Chechnya. However, the informant testified that 'the Russian army seems to have already arranged a contractor to unlock the remote locks on agricultural vehicles.' Agricultural vehicles with the remote lock removed are expected to be sold by the Russian army.

In Melitopol, looting by the Russian army is rampant, and hundreds of thousands of tons of grain are being robbed annually. According to CNN, the Russian army has negotiated with a local farmer to surrender half of the grain, but the elevator to carry the grain out of the silo and the port to carry the cargo ship are not in operation, so the farmer Can't move the grain at all. As a result, Russian troops have stolen all of Melitopol's grain and carried it on trucks to the Crimea region.
