Zelensky warned that Kyiv could impose sanctions on those involved, citing the arrival of a vessel carrying suspected stolen wheat near Haifa. The report said Ukraine believes multiple such shipments have reached Israel despite repeated diplomatic appeals.

Israel rejected the allegations, with Foreign Minister Gideon Saar stating that no sufficient evidence had been provided and that legal procedures must be followed before any action is taken.
According to CNN, the dispute highlights growing tensions between the two countries. The European Union has also sought clarification and warned of potential sanctions. Ukraine has long accused Russia of systematically exporting looted grain to global markets.
