KYIV(National Times)- Ukraine and Israel were on Tuesday locked in a diplomatic row over allegations Tel Aviv had accepted shipments of grain, which Kyiv said Russia had \u201cstolen\u201d from parts of occupied Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Tuesday, Kyiv summoned Israel\u2019s ambassador to protest the alleged shipments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the world\u2019s largest grain producers, Ukraine has repeatedly accused <\/a>Russia of illegally exporting agricultural products from territory that Moscow has captured since it invaded<\/a> in February 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnother vessel carrying such grain has arrived at a port in Israel and is preparing to unload,\u201d Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky wrote in a statement on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Israeli authorities cannot be unaware of which ships are arriving at the country\u2019s ports and what cargo they are carrying,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The development came after an investigation by Israeli outlet Haaretz<\/em> found that the cargo ship Abinsk, ostensibly belonging to Russia\u2019s shadow fleet, had docked at Haifa a couple of weeks ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Kyiv said it had warned Israel about the ship\u2019s cargo in advance, Tel Aviv claimed that Kyiv had not provided evidence to support its claims and rejected that the ship had arrived at the port of Haifa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the Haaretz<\/em> report indicates that this was not the first time that stolen grain from Ukraine was imported by Israel: by 2023, at least two ships carrying stolen grain had arrived in Israel, and at least one of them unloaded here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Ukrainian government has not submitted a request for legal assistance\u2026 nor has the Ukrainian government provided evidence for its claims,\u201d Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said at a news conference in response to a question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ukraine alleges Russia stole more than two million tonnes of grain from occupied territory in 2025. It said it had tracked shipments to Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Europe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
