Russia's Ghost Fleet: Uncovering the Covert Grain Trade from Occupied Ukraine
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 сер 2023
- In a collaborative special report from Scripps News and Bellingcat (@bellingcatofficial ) , new details emerge about the covert movement of valuable grain by Russian ships from occupied Ukraine to global ports, often bypassing international sanctions.
On June 24, 2023, the Mikhail Nenashev, a Russian cargo ship, was captured in satellite imagery in Crimea, loading grain from Ukrainian lands under Russian control. From Crimea to Turkey, and finally to Iran, the Nenashev's journey reveals a systematic, years-long Russian effort to profit from Ukraine's vital grain resources, affecting the global grain market.
Using marine traffic data, satellite imagery, and extensive research, this video uncovers the complex web of shipping routes that enable Russian vessels to evade conventional tracking methods. Working alongside research firm Lloyd’s List Intelligence, Scripps News and Bellingcat have identified numerous suspect ships operating since the invasion began, expanding Russian influence in the Black Sea.
Join us for an insightful and comprehensive look into a secretive trade that's reshaping global dynamics, and understand how Russia's concealed operations are robbing Ukraine of one of its most valuable assets.

What action, if any, do you think the United States should take in assisting Ukraine?
Impound all grain vessels that are intended for russia.
There is absolutely no reason to engage in a half-hearted effort. The sensitive personalities in the White House and in European countries need to step back and allow the military leaders to coordinate an effective and absolute response to stop the Russian aggression once and for all.
ATACMS over mosCOW
Recruit retired F16 pilots for that already undersand the full complexities of the systems. Flying the plane is just part of it which is not addressesd in comments by those who don't really understand how many things go on in them besides being a plane.
Torpedoes works for me.
Collaborators will be sought out and brought to justice.
No they won't. Ukraine will cease to exist as a functioning state.

Do you want to take a guess who buys russian oil from India or Greece or any other country using ghost ships? One try. So the war will be soon over and world will live and exist. And then you will have to come up with some good answers to Ukraine which was thrown back like for 200 years
I must tell you,the reports from Scripps News is fast becoming my go to UA-cam channel when I open up each day! They are wonderful and the reporters are some of the best in the way they present the information. Thank You Scripps News!
🗽🇺🇸 I'm standing with Ukraine🧑🤝🧑👭👬Keep the faith🇺🇸🇺🇦💙💛🌻🫂with much Love from Indiana, USA🙏
Not all of us, id like a refund please.
@@Johnconner1298 did I say you, don't think so? 🗣️ We have always, ALWAYS defended democracy.
The day we don't that's when we have to 🛑stop and wonder about our own democracy?
Just saying with much respect !! 🤔
@@sunshine4sue2 Either you work for the Pentagon or you have a low IQ. That thought process comes from fear that people will decide what kind of government they want without our input. It’s the reason we are losing support in Africa and South America. People are tired of that democracy nonsense when we don’t even have a fair democracy here. Once we get trump back in he will end the war and Ukraine losing the east is the punishment they deserve for trying to get us involved in WW3.
@@Johnconner12986 month old troll account 😂
@@jacqdanieles Yeah but what I’m saying is the truth. Support is falling off for the war in the US. We need to help Ukraine make a deal. That might mean giving up the eastern part of Ukraine.
cargo ships dont just carry goods one way, i wonder what they are shipping back from iran and syria...
Grain ships do, as far as I know.. So, not a mystery really.
Sink the ships
HIJACK the ship and send the grains to Sudan.
@@tanweekok1wish one ?
Glory to brave Ukraine.
Putin and Lvova-Belova to the Hague.
Great reporting, Scripps, keep it up!
Благослови Боже український народ, удачі НАТО і європейських країн, слава українській армії
Героям слава🔱
Разом до перемоги✊
Thank you for this excellent report.
Well researched. Thank you.
These are top quality map animations. Jennifer needs a raise! 💯🌏
All support to Ukraine in their struggle for peace, and thank you, Scripps, for consistently high-quality reporting. Giving bellingcat a significant place on your platform speaks volumes about your integrity.
Russia thinks that they can get away with anything but criminals always lose in the end. Ukraine will (with our help) win this war. Slava Ukraini!
America always get away with same crimes😂
Yea if that was the case, America wouldn’t be where it’s at 😂. Criminals always win
@comrade9374 Russia is far from America. Main difference America is the super power russia isn't.
@KidKidzzz main difference is America is the super power.
@@spammerscammer yes America is far with the killings around the world that I get
ukraine should sink them russain ships
If a ship turns off it's transponder then it's o.k.to bomb it , turn it into a sub!
So, that is how Russia pays Iran for the drones. Bit strange that they don't ship it on the internal waterways and the Caspian sea.
Time to start sinking some cargo ships!!!
One more example that the UN is tootless.😢
Great work all
Lots of Ghost Ships going to the Russian Baltic Ports too
The SBU should be commandeering those ships out in the black sea.
More Ukraine 🇺🇦 naval drones soon?
Send a water drone when they are a ship to ship loading, just to make a point!
And that Türkiye don't let ships thru if they have had turned off the transponder, problem solved!
hahah seems to me like a robber accusing another robber
This too shall pass. Sokoly Ukraine 🇺🇦 flies.
And of course Iran has just been invited to join the BRICS economic group
Just another legitimate target for Ukraine
GLORY UKRAINE TOTAL VICTORY GOD BLESS YOU GO ALL THE WAY TO MOSCOW
Not to Moscow, just back to defending their own borders
@@patmac1100 if Ukraine only go back to their boarders Russia will continue to attack from within Russia so Russia will have to be totally defeated
Not one word about this on local news.
Has Turkey signed up to an embargo of Russian exports?
Grain = drone parts 😢
Why not sea baby these 4 ships?

USA please provide some tomahawks to ukraine, i know you have plenty of old missiles that will likely be disposed of
May God bless the people of Ukraine ,protect them from their enemies, n restore them to their former glory !
May God bless Ukraine!
Ukraine is really is the center in the Black sea and it is also the Food Basket of the West and when comes to Grain , Barney oil and also Sunflower oil
☠️🥳Let's Start The Party!!!🥳☠️
Tommy Cash and Steve Aoki going to space with us and Kanye West coming but not without Snoop Dogg
i dont think so
That farmer doesn't sound to happy about his liberation from Ukranian nazis. And who will liberate him from criminal toilet looters, Russian thieves, war criminal murderous terrorists and their fascist corruption? Ukraine, stay strong and may the force be upon you!
9 months on and thankfully Bilopillya is still not "liberated". However they're getting close and gathering troops on Russian side while less than 100km east on the same border 2nd front opened now. Though presumed objectives failed (they can neither take Harkiv nor distracted AFU much), this beatiful place might get more destruction after all.
Ukraine should have sink the center sections of the Kerch Bridge a long time ago!!!
Hey goof ball, that was Un brokered the grain the deal, Russia ships grain and Ukraine ships grain for limited time. The parties didn't renew the deal. What is problem?
Surely this could be stopped by nato!
Sorry, you switched from narration to a situation where we had to 'sit and watch' whilat we wete forced to read the captions.
We don't have time to do that nowadays
Ghost pepper
have to pay the pipeline
the grain is produced by the farmer if he is not paid he will not produce
crimea is part of russia as voted by 90% + citizens of crimea so russia is shipping their own grain ,all 4 regions of ukraine now part of russia so they are free to do what they want
logic its anexxed

You reap what you sow
so they cant see everything from sattle lites on ballons like they say they can lololol i knew it
This is just pure propaganda 😂😂
F
Crimea is not occupied its democratically joined.
If truth is what the authors are after, i dare them document theft of Syrian crude oil by USA, theft of Libya oil by USA. Its an open secret that these thefts are happening. So help us get a better insight into this theft if truly the authors are after justice.
Free Julian assange
lololololol america still thinks people care about anything they say
Funny because nobody cares what you say 😂😂😂
Russia knows you're watching.
If that grain was harvested in the occupied parts of Ukraine, then it's Russian grain. Hopefully it's not the Monsanto GM grain
I want to thank Russia for bringing us Europeans still lots of Oil through India and the pipeline through Ukraine despite our politics. There is no peace without Russia.
😏Sorry,For us (Americans) we got Biden!!😢
❤️🇷🇺RUSSIA 🇷🇺❤️🇨🇳CHINA 🇨🇳❤️
Crimea is russian territory.
This is Russian grain.
Any verifiable evidence to proove it is ukrsinian grain to share with us?
🤡crimea is UKRAINE !!!!!!!!!!!!!! 💪💙💛🔱 ♻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
It's not stealing.
Nato broke the deal & lost ukraines resources.
Russia handles them today
Yes it's stealing maybe you don't know 🤦🏻
Crimean grain is not ukrainian grain. At least not for the last 9 years. This video feels a bit like western propaganda. It put everything in one basket just to force a conclusion.
Propaganda at is best while it's business as usual for Russia

🤡💩 💪💙💛

Grain grown and harvested by ethnic Crimean Russian farmers. The American take on this is pure fantasy.
looks like the ukranian counter offensive has petered out in utter humiliation, so best to find other story's to cover
reminds me of the end game in afghanistan
Learn to spell.
Ukraine neds to capture Putin 800 million personal yacht. To pay for all of Russian stealing Ukrainian grain! It's. Anchored in Italian waters for the taking! Ukraine has rights to capture this boat !
