Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said that the ship “Panormitis,” which his country alleges to be illegally transporting grain from the temporarily occupied Ukrainian territories, will not unload its cargo in Israel, welcoming the development.
On X, Sybiha wrote, “This demonstrates that Ukraine’s legal and diplomatic actions have been effective,” adding, “This is also a clear signal to all other vessels, captains, operators, insurers, and governments: do not buy stolen Ukrainian grain. Do not become part of this crime.”
Stating that Ukraine will continue to track the vessel, he warned everyone “against any operations with it.”
“We will also continue to ramp up international sanctions measures against Russia’s shadow grain fleet,” he added. (EIR)
