Ukraine expects Israel to seize grain it says Russia stole from occupied territories

(Tim Zadorozhnyy – The Kyiv Independent) Ukraine expects Israel to arrest a shipment of grain unloaded at the Port of Haifa from a vessel Kyiv believes is part of Russia’s shadow fleet used to export grain taken from occupied territories, the Foreign Ministry said on April 16. The statement follows the arrival of the Russian bulk carrier Abinsk in Haifa carrying nearly 44,000 tons of wheat that Ukrainian investigators say originated from occupied areas. Kyiv has accused Moscow of seizing millions of tons of Ukrainian grain since the start of the full-scale invasion and exporting it to global markets via opaque shipping networks. – Ukraine expects Israel to seize grain it says Russia stole from occupied territories
