The captain was accused of violating the procedure for entering the occupied territories with the intention of causing damage to state interests, since any operations in the ports of Crimea or the Sea of Azov violate international norms and Ukrainian law.
The cargo ship USKO MFU under the flag of Cameroon, which illegally entered the ports of the temporarily occupied Crimea to carry out commercial activities, was detained in the Odessa region by the Maritime Security of the State Border Guard Service along with others more law enforcement officers. The press service of the State Border Guard Service reported this on Wednesday, October 9.
The arrest took place in July of this year.
By court decision, the ship was transferred to the ownership of the state of Ukraine.
Its captain was accused of violating the procedure for entering the occupied territories in order to harm the interests of the state, since any operations in the ports of Crimea or the Sea of Azov violate international norms and the laws of Ukraine .
Let’s recall that in September, the captain of the foreign sea vessel USKO MFU, exporting agricultural products through the closed sea ports of the occupied Crimea, was told without suspicion.
Earlier, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) detained a foreign cargo ship and its captain, who worked for the aggressor country Russia, in the waters of the Odessa region. The attacker helped the invaders to export Ukrainian grain from Crimea.
