UKRAINE HAS demanded that Turkey detain a Russian flagged cargo, Zhibek Zholy, over concerns of illegal exports.
Kyiv has argued that the ship is carrying a cargo of Ukrainian grain from the Russian occupied port of Berdyansk.
A Ukrainian Foreign Ministry official told Reuters that the Zhibek Zholy was carrying 4,500 tonnes of grain from the port that belonged to Ukraine.
In a letter dated June 30 to Turkey’s justice ministry, Ukraine’s prosecutor general’s office argued that the vessel was involved in the “illegal export of Ukrainian grain”.
It was alleged that the grain was being transported from Berdyansk to Karasu, Turkey with 7,000 tonnes of cargo.
The Ukrainian prosecutor general’s office has asked Turkey to “conduct an inspection of this sea vessel, seize samples of grain for forensic examination, and demand information on the location of such grain”.
