00:00A diplomatic row between Ukraine and Israel appears to have reached an end, after the
00:07unloading of a cargo vessel allegedly carrying stolen Ukrainian grain to an Israeli port
00:13was halted.
00:14The Ukrainian government said that the grain was stolen by Russia from territories that
00:19it occupies through its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
00:22Officials claim that the Panama-flagged Panometis, which had been waiting to dock an unload in
00:28Haifa, is carrying more than 6,200 tons of wheat and 19,000 tons of barley.
00:34Israeli import company Zenzippa announced that the vessel will have to find an alternative
00:40destination for the goods, while Kyiv said it would continue to track its location and
00:46warn against any operations it undertakes.
00:49The row between Israel and Ukraine erupted this week after Israeli authorities allowed
00:55another vessel with similar cargo to unload at the port of Haifa.
00:59Israeli officials denied receiving sufficient evidence from Ukraine and criticized Kyiv for
01:05going public with the issue on social media.
