Ukraine says Syrian ship docks in Lebanon with stolen grain

BEIRUT, 30 July 2022, (TON): Ukrainian diplomatic mission in the Mideast nation said “a Syrian cargo ship, sanctioned by the United States and carrying what Ukraine says is stolen barley from the war-torn country, has docked in Lebanon.”

The embassy said “according to the Ukrainian Embassy in Beirut, the cargo vessel Laodicea docked in the port of Tripoli, Lebanon’s second-largest city. It was carrying 5,000 tons of flour and 5,000 tons of barley.”

The US Department of the Treasury sanctioned the Laodicea in 2015 for its affiliation with the Syrian government of President Bashar Assad.
