Ukraine asked Turkey to check three more ships sailing under the Russian flag for grain stolen from the occupied Ukrainian territories, Reuters informed.
The Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine has asked the Turkish side to conduct an investigation and obtain documentary confirmation for three ships that were thought to carry grain stolen from recently occupied Ukrainian territories, particularly Kherson oblast.
Reuters has obtained an unpublished earlier letter from the Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine, dated June 13, which names three vessels - Mikhail Nenashev, Mt. Pozinich and Mt. Koshka - which, according to the Ukrainian side, were loaded with grain in the port of occupied Sevastopol in April and May.
All three vessels belong to a subsidiary of the state company Russian United Shipbuilding Corporation, which came under Western sanctions after Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Recently, Turkey detained Russian vessel carrying stolen Ukrainian grain.
