Two ships with military cargo left the Russian Baltiysk, one of which is heading to Syria, and the other to Libya.
This was reported by Kateryna Yaresko, a journalist for the SeaKrime project of the Peacemaker Center.
Yes, two ships were recorded: SPARTA IV (IMO: 9743033) and MYS ZHELANIYA (IMO: 9366110).
“Both were loaded with military cargo next to each other at the naval base, they are going together, probably with a military escort,” says Kateryna Yaresko.
According to the observations of the specialist, SPARTA IV currently shows a port of destination in Egypt, although it is going to Tartus (Syria).
“These periodic flights, as well as grain traffic from the occupied Crimea to Tartus and Latakia, indicate that the new Syrian authorities have reached an agreement with the Russian Federation and that it is not worth expecting the withdrawal of Russian invaders from Syrian territory at this time,” adds Jaresko.
According to preliminary data, MYS ZHELANIYA is heading to Libya with military cargo, although it does not indicate the port of destination.
Earlier it became known that the Russian bulk carrier sent stolen Ukrainian grain to Syria for the second time in a row.
