Five ships loaded with tens of thousands of tons of Ukrainian grain have disappeared from the Berdiansk seaport, the head of the Zaporizhzhia state military administration, Oleksandr Starukh, said during the TV marathon broadcast, Radio Free Europe reports.
“What the residents of Berdiansk report. There were five loaded ships over there. Some of them were fully loaded - and we see that in the customs documentation, some were partially loaded. Several days ago, these ships disappeared from the Berdiansk seaport. According to people, they were sailed away by Russian tugboats,” Starukh said.
The head of the state military administration hopes that they will soon know the location of the ships.
“We will see now; the ship is giving out the codes into the informational environment. And we will understand them,” he said.
