I am confident that the decisions to be taken [by Turkey] will prevent attempts to violate Ukraine's sovereignty," Bodnar said.
Marinetraffic.com said the 140-meter general-cargo vessel Zhibek Zholy was sailing under the Russian flag. It showed the ship late on July 1 anchored about a kilometer off Turkey's Black Sea port of Karasu.
On June 30, Evgeny Balitsky, head of the Moscow-appointed administration in Ukraine's Zaporizhzhya region, said on Telegram that the ship had left the Berdyansk port and was headed for "friendly countries."
He said the ship was loaded with 7,000 tons of grain, but he did not specify which countries were considered friendly nor did he give any details on the origins of the grain.
Bodnar said investigators would meet on July 4 to determine the ship's fate and that Ukraine was seeking return of the grain.
Ukraine has accused Russia of stealing its grain during the invasion and blockading its ports to keep grain from leaving the country, which has contributed to a global food shortage.
Moscow has denied taking Ukrainian grain, but satellite images and GPS data have been used to back up the allegations

Russia caught red handed deny everything it right out of the traitors play book deny deflated can't respond sounds like his sex life....
(Reuters) - Ukraine is holding talks with Turkey and the United Nations to secure guarantees for grain exports from Ukrainian ports, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Monday.
News reports have suggested in recent weeks that such talks would soon be taking place in Turkey.
Ukraine, one of the world's leading grain exporters, accuses Russia of blocking the movement of its ships, and Zelenskiy said 22 million tonnes of grain was stuck at the moment with a further harvest of about 60 million tonnes expected in the autumn.
Russia denies it is blocking any movement of grain and says Ukraine is to blame for the lack of movement, partly because of what it says are mining operations in its ports.
Ukraine has also accused Russia of stealing grain from its warehouses and taking it out of the country - either to Russian-occupied areas, Russia itself or other countries.
A Turkish official on Monday said Turkey had halted a Russian-flagged cargo ship off its Black Sea coast and was investigating a Ukrainian claim that it was carrying stolen grain.

Russia is ready to talk about allowing Ukrainian grain shipments states top diplomat.
Ukraine—Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Friday that Moscow is ready to negotiate with Ukraine and Turkey about grain exports but it is unclear when such talks might take place.
Western leaders, meanwhile, sought to pressure Mr. Lavrov at the Group of 20 ministerial summit in Bali, Indonesia, accusing Moscow of preventing Ukrainian grain from reaching global markets. Mr. Lavrov walked out of two meetings at the summit and accused Western countries of “frenzied Russophobia.”
U.S. and Western officials have said that Russia has effectively blockaded Ukrainian ports and exerted tight control over Ukraine’s grain exports. The Kremlin has said that Kyiv is free to ship grain from its ports. Turkey and the United Nations have been leading efforts to transport Ukrainian grain out of the country.
After participating in the G-20 meetings, Mr. Lavrov called on Ukraine to unblock its ports and clear them of mines and said that the Russian military plays the main role in negotiations on the grain exports, according to state newswire TASS.
