At the end of August, Crimean collaborators published another “pre-election statistics”, and if earlier they were talking about “millions of tourists”, now it is the turn of the long-suffering “Crimean export”. The fake “vice-premier” and “finance minister” of the occupiers Irina Kiviko announced an alleged “growth in exports” from the occupied peninsula from 30 million dollars in 2022 to 37 million in 2023.
At the same time, the basis of these amounts, allegedly “more than 70%”, allegedly consists of “industrial products, goods of the mechanical engineering complex”, and then “food products, more than 20%”. Kiviko named Turkey as the “main importer of Crimean goods” in 2023, and then Kazakhstan, where allegedly “irrigation systems produced in Crimea are in great demand”, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan.
At the same time, the criminal Georgy Muradov and the fake “director of the Southern regional export support center” Ksenia Slutskaya stated that allegedly Crimean exports are “more by a quarter” because “they do not take into account funds received through mainland representative offices” and “front companies” created in attempts to circumvent sanctions.
If we do not dwell on the semi-fantasy lyrics from Kiviko about the alleged supplies from Crimea of ”essential oils to India and organic fertilizers to Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia” and on the stories from Muradov about the import of “coffee, cocoa and other products” from Africa to Crimea, it is worth recalling that back in the spring of this year, the same Kiviko first announced the “export of Crimea” for 2023, including Belarus and the unrecognized “republics” of Abkhazia and Ossetia, in “as much” as 15 million dollars.
And then, in May, at the next “export forum”, the fake “minister” was able to “roll up” the total amount of such “global trade” to only 20 million dollars. The current amount of 37 million, and even as allegedly “understated”, was clearly pulled out of thin air by the current “candidate for deputy of the state council from United Russia” Kiviko for a reason.
The fact is that the last time the illegal “Krymstat” published “official data” on “Crimean exports” was in 2021, and then they announced exactly the figure of 36.6 million dollars, but most of them, 30 million, went to the “CIS countries”, by which the collaborators meant mainland Ukraine.
Obviously, now the collaborators decided to “catch up and overtake” this figure, realizing that no one will check the figures they name anyway, and no one can. Although, of course, it is difficult to imagine the products of “Crimean engineering” in demand in Turkey, as well as to establish the “producer of melioration systems”, which the occupiers would not fail to use earlier in propaganda as a “successful enterprise”. Although, of course, it is possible that the illegal “Krymmeliovodkhoz” tried to export something “now completely unnecessary” from the peninsula for scrap metal.
Also now the discrepancy in the amount of “export” of grain declared by the collaborators is obvious; if you suddenly “believe” Kiviko, it turns out that the “export” of Crimean agricultural products for the year amounted to 8 million dollars, which is approximately the cost of loading 3 ships with Crimean grain. Thus, it is obvious that at least part of the illegal transportation of agricultural products from Crimea goes to “Putin’s dear friends” in the Middle East and Africa at a dumping price or as “regime financing,” and it does not end up in Kiviko’s “pre-election debit.”
