KARASU/KYIV, July 3 (Reuters) - Turkish customs authorities have detained a Russian cargo ship carrying grain which Ukraine says is stolen, Ukraine's ambassador to Turkey said on Sunday.

Ukraine had previously asked Turkey to detain the Russian-flagged Zhibek Zholy cargo ship, according to an official and documents viewed by Reuters. read more

Reuters reporters saw the Zhibek Zholy ship anchored about 1 km from shore and outside of the Karasu port on Sunday, with no obvious signs of movement aboard or by other vessels nearby.

A Ukrainian foreign ministry official, citing information from Ukraine's maritime administration, told Reuters on Friday the 7,146 dwt Zhibek Zholy had loaded the first cargo of some 4,500 tonnes of Ukrainian grain from Berdyansk, a Russian-occupied port in south Ukraine.

1. Ol Poopin foiled again!

[mucifer]

2. Even if Turkey keeps the grain for their people or they sell it, it's better than russia

having it

5. Exactly!

3. How about using confiscated russian funds to directly pay Ukraine whenever a shipment like this

shows up, that way it can go on to feed the hungry while Ukraine gets payment do & russia is zero sum.

4. Thank you Joe Biden.

In the past couple of weeks, through direct diplomacy between Erdogan and Joe, Turkey dropped its’ opposition to the addition of Sweden and Norway to NATO and now Turkey is perhaps stopping the Russian scheme to starve half the world.

THANKS TO JOE BIDEN.

6. Oh.... I didn't know it was President Biden that negotiated that deal. My god he has done soooo

Much

8. +1

And many of them are outright supporters of Pootie Poot.

Remember when this war broke out and they were trying to justify Russia's invasion? And now Russia is stealing Ukraine's resources and food production.

14. Turkey is a NATO member

... however I'm pretty sure the Repukes are not.

Thank you Turkey, and Joe Biden!

15. Pretty sure we don't WANT the Repukes in NATO.

They'd just be trying to blow it up.

13. +1000. Yes, Thank you President Biden

Joe walked into a complete mess the day he was sworn in thanks to TFG, Pooty and a host of other accomplices. Joe is working hard on reversing the attack on America and the western world. Our steadfast support of him is the least we can offer.

9. Gotta secure shipping lanes or many countries face famine.

10. The grain belongs to Ukraine and so does the ship.

Call the ship the spoils of war for trying to steal the grain.
