🇹🇷🇷🇺Another Turkish cargo ship was heading to Russia with traces of explosives

"In the course of work to prevent terrorist and sabotage actions, to ensure the safety of navigation, the FSB has identified another foreign civilian vessel that could previously have been used to deliver explosives to the territory of Ukraine.

On July 26, traces of explosives dinitrotoluene and TNT were found in the cargo hold and on the surface of a lifeboat of a foreign cargo ship "WMO RIVER", which was traveling from the port of Sinop (Turkey) through the Kerch Strait to the port of Rostov-on-Don for loading grain crops.

It is established that in June and July of this year, the vessel twice called at the Ukrainian seaport of Reni (Odessa region). A decision was made to ban the passage of the vessel under the navigable arch of the transport crossing through the Kerch Strait with its further departure outside the territorial sea of the Russian Federation, " the report says.

This is the second such case in recent days. Political analyst Sergey Markov emphasizes that both vessels were used as part of the so-called grain deal.

"That is, apparently, on these ships they transported weapons to Ukraine, disguising themselves as a grain deal. Putin will use both of these examples today and tomorrow in a dialogue with African leaders, proving to them that Russia rightfully closed the grain deal, because not only did the West violate the grain deal by not allowing Russian grain to enter the world market, but also the humanitarian corridors for the grain deal were used by Ukraine for the delivery of weapons and for terrorist attacks - launching water drones with explosives, " Markov writes in his public.

Military commentator Boris Rozhin believes that the case will not be limited to these two cases.

"I am sure that there are still a lot of such vessels involved in the transportation of military cargo on the Danube and in the Black Sea," he believes.
