A Turkish vessel unloaded stolen Ukrainian grain at the berth of a Russian company

The Turkish ship Sword Lion waited for unloading at the port of Iskenderun. It was transporting stolen Ukrainian grain.

Sword Lion unloaded the stolen Ukrainian grain in the Turkish port of Iskenderun, at the berth of the subsidiary company of the Russian MMK (Magnitogorsk Metallurgical Combine), “Mirotvorets” journalist Kateryna Yaresko reported.

Then the ship came to Famagusta (Northern Cyprus), where it was previously refused unloading.

We will remind you that the Turkish ship Sword Lion with stolen Ukrainian grain was not allowed to enter the ports of Israel and Cyprus. Balker went to Turkey, where he was accepted after 6 days of waiting.

“I would like to remind you that it is the Turkish authorities that bear full responsibility for this disgrace, it was they who gave the permission to cross their border,” Yaresko commented at the time.

The Turkish ship was transporting grain of Ukrainian origin, exported in violation of the state border of Ukraine, without complying with the necessary customs procedures. It is, in fact, contraband. It is possible that the grain is related to Russia’s crimes in the occupied territories of Ukraine (forcible seizure of agricultural products, etc.), but this requires further research.
