Ukraine Summons Israeli Ambassador Over Russian 'Stolen Grain' Shipment
The Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the Israeli ambassador in Kyiv on April 28, 2026, to protest the arrival of a cargo ship in Haifa carrying what Kyiv describes as stolen Ukrainian grain. Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha stated that the grain was seized by Russian forces from occupied territories and warned that Israel's failure to refuse the vessel entry undermines the 'friendly relations' between the two nations and aids Russia's war economy.
