Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that Kyiv is preparing a package of sanctions against any country, including Israel, that "transports and profits from grain stolen from Ukraine." He directly addressed Israel and claimed that purchasing grain exported from occupied territories "violates Israel's laws," adding that "buying stolen grain cannot be considered a legitimate business." Zelensky emphasized that he expects Israeli authorities "to respect Ukraine and refrain from actions that undermine relations between the countries." According to him, another cargo ship carrying stolen grain "has arrived in Israel and is preparing to unload," following allegations of similar cases in recent times.
