Russian troops occupying the Ukrainian city of Melitopol plundered nearly $5 million of farm vehicles from a John Deere dealership. According to a CNN report, some of the equipment was shipped more than 700 miles to Chechnya, only to find it had been rendered useless by a remote-locking system that prevented the thieves from turning on the equipment.

The network is also reporting that huge amounts of Ukrainian grain has been stolen by Russian troops. Sowing operations in many areas of this southern Ukraine area have since been disrupted or abandoned
