In addition, according to the occupiers' reports, China, India, Latvia and Turkey are importers of equipment, land transport vehicles and their parts, rubber, non-woven materials, and paper pulp products.

"It is worth noting that coal is sent to other countries under other documents, so the recipient countries may not know where it was mined," the Eastern Human Rights Group said.

Earlier reports said the Russians planned to export more than 300 tonnes of sunflower seeds from the temporarily occupied Luhansk region.
