Ukraine Summons Israeli Ambassador Over Allegations of Grain Trade with Occupied Territories
Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry has summoned the Israeli ambassador amid allegations of Israel receiving grain from Russian-occupied regions of Ukraine.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba expressed concern over the arrival of a second ship carrying what he termed ‘stolen goods’ at the Israeli port of Haifa, warning that accepting such grain could damage bilateral relations. In response, Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen stated that while the Ukrainian claims lack evidence, the matter is under investigation by Israeli authorities. Approximately 20% of Ukrainian territory remains under Russian control, and Ukraine considers trade involving goods from these areas to be illegal.
