Ukraine has summoned the Israeli ambassador for what it calls a “lack of appropriate response” in accepting shipments of grain from Russian-occupied Ukrainian territories.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha wrote on social media platform X on Monday evening that a shipment of Ukrainian grain had arrived in Haifa, the second such vessel “that delivered stolen goods” to Israel.

The Israeli ambassador was asked to appear at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Tuesday morning so that Kyiv could “present our protest note and request appropriate action”, the minister added.

In response, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar chided Sybiha for “turning to the media and social networks” and said “allegations are not evidence”.
