Ukraine has seized a Cameroon-flagged cargo ship in the Black Sea off Odessa and arrested the ship's captain.

The captain is suspected of having transported illegally exported Ukrainian grain from the Russian-annexed Crimean Peninsula, announces the Ukrainian security service SBU.

Since Russia went in and occupied large agricultural areas in Ukraine at the beginning of 2022, Kiev has accused Moscow of illegally harvesting and exporting grain from these areas to other countries.

The grain on the seized ship is said to come from southern Ukraine, according to SBU.
