Zelenskyy threatens Israelis with sanctions over stolen grain – POLITICO

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy threatened to sanction Israeli individuals and businesses buying grain produced in regions occupied by Russia.

The Ukrainian government is preparing a sanctions package targeting both the people transporting the grain, as well as those on the other side of the transaction in Israel, Zelenskyy said in a post on X on Tuesday.

His announcement heralds escalating tensions between two nations that are both broadly in the same Western camp. Ties, however, have been strained by Israel's continued relationship with Russia.
