Russia plans to build seven grain silos in occupied Donetsk Oblast to store stolen Ukrainian grain
The Russians are planning to build seven grain silos to store Ukrainian grain in the temporarily occupied part of Donetsk Oblast. Source: Ukraine's National Resistance Center Quote: "The Russians are preparing to rob Ukrainian lands even more actively – seven grain silos are planned to be built in the temporarily occupied territories of Donetsk Oblast, each of which will be able to hold 20,000 tonnes of grain." Details: As the National Resistance Center stated, the Russians are currently storing about 165,000 tonnes of Ukrainian grain in the temporarily occupied territories of Donetsk Oblast for further illegal sale. It is noted that the grain is exported to other countries – in Luhansk Oblast, agricultural products are transported by train to the Caspian Sea, and from there to Iran. Background: In 2023 alone, the state-owned company created by the Russians exported almost 212,000 tonnes of grain from the occupied part of Zaporizhzhia Oblast, worth an estimated US$46 million. Ukrainian grain is exported to Türkiye, Libya and Israel, and European companies are also involved. Support Ukrainska Pravda on Patreon!

Russians conduct another "reservist" training in temporarily occupied Mariupol
The Russians have conducted military exercises called Storm-2025 in temporarily occupied city of Mariupol, involving local men. After the training was completed, most of them were sent to the line of contact to take part in combat against Ukraine. Source: Ukraine's National Resistance Center (NRC) Details: The NRC reported that participants in this event included members of the security forces of the so-called Donetsk People's Republic, along with civilians. These were men registered as "reservists" in the occupation administration of the city. Quote: "Training these "reservists" is yet another tactic used by the Kremlin to drag the local population into the war against their own homeland. After such exercises, most men do not return home but are instead sent to the front. Through this deception, the Kremlin seeks to replenish its army and prolong its bloody war in Ukraine." Background: At the end of February, Russian occupation administrations in the temporarily occupied territories of Donetsk Oblast officially launched mobilisation measures, attempting to disguise them as "training camps". Earlier, Ukraine's National Resistance Center reported that Russia was preparing to intensify forced mobilisation in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine in the spring of 2025 to compensate for the significant losses at the front line.

Russians begin mobilisation in temporarily occupied parts of Donetsk Oblast – Ukraine's National Resistance Center
Russian occupation administrations in the temporarily occupied territories of Donetsk Oblast have officially launched mobilisation measures, trying to disguise them as "training camps". Source: Ukraine's National Resistance Center (NRC) Details: The NRC reported that Denis Pushilin, the leader of the so-called Donetsk People's Republic (the occupied part of Donetsk Oblast), has signed an order to prepare the local population for service in the Russian army. The document is based on Russian regulations regarding reservist training. However, reservists are not mentioned in the text itself. This indicates a Russian attempt to conceal actual mobilisation under the guise of routine military exercises. Local military enlistment offices and military commandants, which oversee the forced mobilisation process, are involved in organising the draft. "The most important thing is that the order clearly states that the targeted conscription and distribution of those mobilised to the Russian army is carried out, which completely refutes the myth of voluntary participation in these 'training camps'," the NRC reported. The NRC also stated that the Russians plan to begin the so-called draft in March-April 2025. This would allow them to disguise the mobilisation as part of Russia's annual recruitment campaign. Background: Earlier, Ukraine's National Resistance Center reported that Russia was preparing to intensify forced mobilisation in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine in the spring of 2025 to compensate for the significant losses at the line of contact.

Russian occupation administration in Crimea force children to produce parts for Russian weapons
The Russian occupation administration in Crimea has been involving Ukrainian children in the production of weapon components used in the war against Ukraine. Source: Ukraine's National Resistance Center (NRC) Details: The NRC said children at School No. 5 in Simferopol are being forced to produce parts for the Russian army under the supervision of military instructors. Specifically, students are manufacturing components for drones and fast-charging devices for Kalashnikov rifles, which are then officially handed over to Russian military units fighting against Ukraine. The Russian occupation administration does not hide this activity, presenting it as a so-called "volunteer initiative". The NRC emphasised that this is a gross violation of international law. Quote: "Beyond forced involvement in weapons production, Crimean schoolchildren are subjected to systematic militarisation and propaganda. They are enrolled in paramilitary movements such as the Yunarmiia (Youth Army), attend meetings with Russian soldiers and are indoctrinated with pro-war ideology from an early age. Through these shameful tactics, the occupiers seek to raise a generation fully loyal to Kremlin ideology, conditioned to serve in the occupation army in the future." Background: Ukraine's National Resistance Center reported that Russia is preparing to intensify forced mobilisation in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine in the spring of 2025 to compensate for significant losses at the line of contact.
