Ukraine informs Israel about Russian vessel with stolen grain

The Ukrainian Foreign Minister drew the attention of his Israeli counterpart to the situation with the import of stolen Ukrainian grain brought from the Russian Federation.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha reported this on the social network X.

“I had a telephone conversation with my Israeli counterpart on a wide range of bilateral issues. We focused, in particular, on security issues and the situation in the Middle East, exchanging views on possible further developments,” he wrote.
