A ship-thief with a cargo of Ukrainian grain plans to sail from Crimea to Lebanon

The Severodvinsk vessel, which the Russians have already involved in grain thefts, has left occupied Sevastopol.

According to her, the dry cargo ship Severodvinsk (IMO:9376440) left occupied Sevastopol on November 21 from berth No. 215 in Komyshova Bay.
