The Asomatos unloaded 26,900 tonnes of stolen Ukrainian wheat in Egypt — Ukrainian grain

The sanctioned vessel Asomatos unloaded 26,900 tonnes of stolen Ukrainian wheat in Abu Qir, Egypt.

This was announced by Foreign Minister Andriy Sibiga.

The grain was unloaded, even though five days ago Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko sent a request to the Egyptian Ministry of Justice setting out the grounds for the vessel’s arrest. It belongs to the sanctioned company Agro-Fregat and was illegally transporting stolen wheat via Crimea.

This is already the fourth instance since early April in which Russia has unloaded stolen Ukrainian grain at Egyptian ports.

Egypt is not the only country accepting stolen Ukrainian grain in its ports. At the end of April, there was an attempt to unload illegally stolen agricultural produce at an Israeli port. Ukraine then sent the Israeli side a package of documents to arrest the vessel PANORMITIS. Following this, they refused to unload it, and it sailed into neutral waters.
