Kiev said Turkey took Zshek Zholy cargo ships carrying Russian flags suspected of carrying cereals stolen from Ukraine.

We have fully cooperated.

Ambassador Bodnar said the fate of this ship will be decided after the investigators' meeting on July 4, adding that Ukraine is hoping for the number of cereals on the ship will be confiscated.

The regional government is in charge of Sakarya Port, where the Zshek Zholy ship is anchored, and the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs has not commented on information.

Zshek Zholy's cargo ships in Turkey on July 2.

The Ukrainian Prosecutor's Office on June 30 sent a letter to the Ministry of Justice of Turkey, saying that the Zshek Zholy ship was involved in illegal exports from Ukrainian cereal from Berdyansk to Karasu, Turkey.

The Ukrainian side asked Turkey to check the ship, collect cereal samples on the ship to check and exploit information about the origin of those cereals.

A Ukrainian Foreign Ministry official quoted information from the maritime management agency, saying that the Zshek Zholy ship has a tonnage of 7,146 tons, carrying about 4,500 tons of Ukraine grains leaving the port of Berdyansk, where Russian forces control.

Ukraine repeatedly accused Russia of stealing cereals from the areas they controlled since opening a military campaign in late February, but the Kremlin rejected.

Ukraine is trying to find new roads to export about 25 million tons of grains trapped in this country due to war.

Russia and Ukraine produce 30% of global wheat supply.

The UN promotes the liberation agreement of 25 million tons of food from Ukraine, but the lack of confidence among the parties makes the negotiation process deadlock.

The West proposed many solutions to find an export way for Ukraine's stuck cereals when the Black Sea was blocked, but all had many obstacles.
