Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kolba has said that anyone involved in the transport and sale of grain stolen by Russia in the occupied territories of the country will face legal consequences.

"Russia is a criminal three times: it bombed Syria and turned it into a wave of rubble, occupied part of Ukraine, and now it sells stolen Ukrainian grain to Syria," the ministry's press service quoted Kolba as saying.

"Anyone who sells, transports or buys stolen grain is an accomplice to the crime," Kolba said.
