Israeli importer Zenziper refused the cargo after Ukraine said the grain came from occupied territory, and the vessel left Israel’s waters, officials said.

- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy recently called for a 'more systematic' campaign against the shadow grain fleet, while the European Commission has reportedly contacted Israel regarding these shipments.
