Russian embassy says has no information on ship docked in Lebanon or its cargo

The Russian embassy in Lebanon has no information about a Syrian ship docked in Lebanon or its cargo, it said on Friday after the Ukrainian embassy said the ship was carrying flour stolen by Russia.

"The Embassy of the Russian Federation to the Lebanese republic has no information regarding the Syrian vessel or a cargo brought to Lebanon by a private company," the embassy said in an emailed statement to Reuters.
