President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Israel is buying grain from regions occupied by Russia, which he describes as “stolen” goods. Ukraine responds by summoning Israel’s ambassador, according to the reports. Ukraine also says an additional vessel carrying such grain has docked, indicating that the alleged transactions continue. The accusation centers on grain exports sourced from Ukrainian territories under Russian control, which Ukraine argues are being marketed through international buyers. The reports do not provide Israel’s response or specific details on the shipments’ contracts, verification processes, or Ukrainian territory status beyond Ukraine’s characterization of the origin as occupied areas. Overall, the issue is presented as an escalating diplomatic dispute linked to Ukraine’s broader campaign to prevent recognition or commercialization of goods tied to occupied territories. As of the reports, Ukraine’s actions include further diplomatic engagement with Israel and public statements highlighting additional ship arrivals.
