❗️A ship smuggling Ukrainian grain from occupied Crimea has been seized in the Black Sea
Ukraine’s State Border Guard and Security Service conducted the operation as part of efforts to combat Russia’s economic crimes.
Investigators found that the vessel had transported around 5,000 tons of Ukrainian wheat from Sevastopol in late 2024, using a foreign flag to mask its origin—part of Russia’s so-called “shadow fleet.”
Navigation equipment, documents, and other evidence were seized onboard. The ship is now under arrest, and the crew is in custody for legal proceedings. The investigation is ongoing.
