A Swedish court upheld the seizure of the cargo ship Caffa, suspected of operating under a false flag and transporting grain from Russian-occupied Ukrainian territory. The vessel may be transferred to Ukraine once the court's ruling becomes final.

A Swedish court seized the cargo vessel Caffa at Ukraine's request, marking the first foreign court action against a ship over alleged illegal export of Ukrainian grain from Russian-occupied territory.
