According to Starukh: "Berdyansk residents report that there were five ships in the port. We can see from customs declarations that some of them were fully loaded and some were partially loaded.

A few days ago those ships disappeared from the Berdyansk port.

People say that they were tugged away somewhere by Russian tugboats. They carried several tens of thousands tons of Ukrainian grain."

Details: Starukh also said that it soon should become known where exactly the ships have been tugged to.
