The crew of the Tsarevna which has been stranded in the port of Mariupol, since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, is in good health and has food for another 15 days.

This was made clear after a telephone conversation between the captain Pavel Pavlov and the ship's manager Daniel Stefanov.

Pavlov dismissed claims of the Tsarevna's capture and stressed that the crew had never been threatened by either of the two warring parties.
