This was announced by journalist Denis Kazansky in Telegram.

"In the Zaporizhzhya region, the Russian occupation administration has introduced a system to rob the local farmers, the insolence of which even got people in Russia surprised. Truck drivers who export agricultural products to Russia are forced to receive the so-called ‘yellow passes’," he wrote.

Without such a "pass", the occupants do not allow the farmers to work, and the price of receiving it - a third of the harvested goods.

"Even the collaborators are outraged by this robbery. For example, the former Minister of Transport in the occupying Crimean government Anatoliy Tsurkin published a photo of yellow passes and openly wrote that it was just a robbery of Ukrainian farmers," Kazansky said.

According to him, the same is confirmed by another collaborator - Igor Dimitriev, a former deputy of the Odesa City Council.
