42 Russian shadow fleet vessels were transporting oil, grain and stolen goods from Crimea, circumventing international sanctions. These operations threatened security, the environment and financed Russia's war. The Main Intelligence Directorate reported on the activities of 42 ships of the Russian shadow fleet, which are engaged in the transportation of Russian oil, as well as grain and coal from the temporarily occupied Ukrainian territories, including Crimea. According to the agency, these vessels, as well as the ports and airports involved, are used to transport weapons, stolen Ukrainian products and to circumvent international sanctions.

Occupied Crimea has been turned into a key center for the export of stolen Ukrainian grain. Millions of tons of products from the occupied territories are exported annually through local ports, legalizing them with the help of fictitious documents, shell companies and a shadow fleet. The Russian authorities have built a systematic logistics scheme from the confiscation of the harvest to its export under the guise of Russian grain, centered in the Crimean ports.
