Ukraine-Israel diplomatic crisis erupts over ‘stolen grain’ shipment

Ukraine said on Monday evening that it has summoned Israel’s ambassador in Kyiv, Michael Brodsky, for a “reprimand session” on Tuesday morning after Tel Aviv received a Russian grain shipment that Kyiv says was taken by Moscow from Ukrainian territory, escalating a diplomatic dispute between the two countries.    Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said in a post on X that “friendly relations between Ukraine and Israel can benefit both countries, and that trade in stolen Ukrainian grain carried out by Russia should not undermine them.”        He added: “is difficult to understand Israel’s lack of an adequate response to Ukraine’s request to refuse entry to a vessel carrying stolen goods in Haifa.” READ: US deploys Ukrainian “SkyMap” system to counter Iranian drones […]
