Ukraine has urged Israel to seize the Panoramitis vessel suspected of carrying grain from Russia-occupied regions.

Axar.az informs this was stated by Ukraine’s foreign minister Andrii Sybiha on X.

"The Prosecutor General’s Office of Ukraine has submitted a relevant request to the Israeli authorities based on a Ukrainian court ruling to arrest the vessel as part of the ongoing investigation.

The vessel is suspected of carrying a grain cargo that was illegally transported from a closed port in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine in violation of international law and Ukrainian legislation.

This is not Twitter diplomacy, but a very concrete legal and diplomatic request for international legal assistance that necessitates a response. We expect the Israeli side to take it seriously rather than responding with emotional statements" he noted.
