Ukraine has asked Israel to seize a vessel carrying grain it says was stolen from areas occupied by Russia, its top prosecutor said, amid a diplomatic tussle between the two countries over the shipment.
Ukraine’s Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko said on Telegram on Wednesday that the vessel, Panormitis, was headed to the Israeli port of Haifa with grain “some of which was shipped” from Russian-occupied regions of Ukraine.
