Five ships loaded with “tens of thousands of tons” of grain have vanished from a port in Ukraine, and reports indicate that the vessels and their haul were stolen by Russians.

The five cargo ships were allegedly stolen in the port city of Berdyansk in southeastern Ukraine. The ships were towed away into the Sea of Azov by Russian tugboats, the Ukrainian Ministry of Culture and Information Policy’s communications arm said on Monday, citing the region’s governor and eyewitnesses.
