On July 27th, a Syrian ship carrying barley stolen from the Russia-controlled areas of Ukraine, docked in the northern Lebanese port of Tripoli, as the Embassy of Ukraine in Lebanon claims. 

Ukrainian Ambassador Ihor Ostash met Lebanese President Michel Aoun on Thursday to discuss the shipment of stolen Ukrainian grain carried by the Syrian ship docked in Tripoli. The ship was loaded in the port of Feodosia with barley plundered by Russia from Ukrainian stores.

"A request was made to take measures to clarify the circumstances of the ship’s stay in the Lebanese territorial waters. It was also underscored that this fact could harm bilateral ties. The Ambassador of Ukraine also informed President Aoun of the military situation in the southern and eastern parts of Ukraine," the statement reads

During the meeting, the issue of Ukrainian wheat supplies to the Lebanese market was discussed. It was emphasized that Ukraine remains a reliable partner of Lebanon and will ensure its food security despite military actions waged by the Russian aggressor.
