Turkey does not pass the Russian vessel with weapons and stolen grain through Bosphorus: Details (Photo)
On February 28, in the temporarily occupied Sevastopol in Crimea, the Russians loaded a ship with stolen Ukrainian grain. In particular, the Balker went with a cargo of about 20 thousand tons. Instead, the Zafar Balker is two days before the Bosphor. On February 25, two tugboats removed from the port of Sevastopol, this vessel after loading 35,800 tons of stolen grain.
The monitoring group noted that the Bosphorus also did not pass two military transports that transported weapons and ammunition from Syria. We are talking about Yaz and Sparta IV, which on the evening of February 26 turned 180 degrees and went south-one in the port said and the other in the Mediterranean, but both vessels stopped before Dardanella. As of March 2, YAZ is in the Syrian port of Tartus, while the location of Sparta IV is unknown.
"It is likely that Turkey began to respond two years after Russia's war against Ukraine began to respond to the secret transportation of weapons and stolen grain," - added in the monitoring group. We will remind, analysts of the Institute of War Study in the daily report on December 11, 2023 reported that Turkey has been using the Montre Convention since February 28, 2022 and does not allow Russian warships to pass through the Bosphorus and Dardanelles straits.
