Ukraine Calls in Israeli Envoy Over “Stolen Grain” Ship to Haifa

(MENAFN) Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry on Monday summoned Israel’s ambassador to deliver a formal protest and request action regarding a vessel that Kyiv says is transporting what it describes as “stolen grain” to the northern port city of Haifa.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha warned Israel once again against allowing the shipment to proceed, saying:
“Friendly Ukrainian-Israeli relations have the potential to benefit both countries, and Russia’s illegal trade with stolen Ukrainian grain should not undermine them.”

He also expressed frustration over what he called Israel’s lack of response to earlier concerns, adding:
“It is difficult to understand Israel’s lack of appropriate response to Ukraine’s legitimate request regarding the previous vessel that delivered stolen goods to Haifa.”

Sybiha further noted that “another such vessel has arrived in Haifa,” urging action from Israeli authorities.

In response, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar dismissed the allegations, saying:
“Dear Minister, diplomatic relations, especially between friendly nations, are not conducted on Twitter or in the media.”

He added that Ukraine has not provided supporting evidence for its claims:
“Evidence substantiating the allegations have yet to be provided.”

Saar also stated that Kyiv had not submitted a formal request for legal assistance before raising the issue publicly through media and social platforms.
