The Turkish ship Sword Lion with stolen Ukrainian grain was not accepted in the ports of Israel and Cyprus. The bulk carrierwent to Turkey, but there, as well, they are in no hurry to let him to the port.

A ceremony was held in Turkey to lay down the second Ada-type ship for the needs of the Navy of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The luxurious yacht of the ex-president of the Russian Federation Dmitrii Medvedev was spotted in the port of Istanbul. Previously, the watercraft was in Sochi, Russia.

The Russians did not let a ship heading from Turkey to Rostov-on-Don pass through the Kerch Strait. The special services claim that they found traces of explosives on the dry cargo.

Analysts suspect that Turkey may re-export Russian coal, the import of which is currently subject to sanctions by the EU and Great Britain.

The press secretary of the Justice and Development Party, Omer Celik, said that Turkey expects to avoid a crisis regarding the “grain agreement” on the part of the Russian Federation.

Ukraine relies more on the political influence of the President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, than on the negotiations of the participants, regarding the continuation of the Grain Agreement.

The construction of the second Ada-type corvette for the Navy of Ukraine has already started in Turkey. The ship will be named after the Ukrainian hetman.

Ukraine and Turkey plan to strengthen cooperation in the agricultural sector, and also hope for the continuation of the Grain Agreement.

The flagship of the Ukrainian Navy, the corvette “Hetman Ivan Mazepa”, is to enter the fleet next year.
