Zelensky accuses Israel of importing grain stolen by Russia

A diplomatic crisis between Israel and Ukraine is brewing after President Zelensky publicly accused the country of importing grain stolen by Russia.

The Panormitis, a Russian shadow fleet vessel, arrived at Haifa Bay on Sunday reportedly carrying 25,000 tonnes of wheat and barley, which Ukraine said was harvested from territories under Russian occupation. At present it is idling off the Israeli coast awaiting permission to berth at the port.
