The minister stressed that "friendly Ukrainian-Israeli relations can benefit both countries, and Russia’s illegal trade in stolen Ukrainian grain must not undermine them."
"It is difficult to understand Israel’s lack of a proper response to Ukraine’s legitimate request regarding the previous vessel that delivered stolen goods to Haifa. Now that another such vessel has arrived in Haifa, we again warn Israel against accepting stolen grain and damaging our relations," Sybiha said.
The foreign minister added that in this context, "we have already officially summoned the Israeli ambassador for tomorrow morning to hand over our note of protest and demand that appropriate measures be taken."
