An Israeli grain importer has said it will not receive the cargo of a ship allegedly carrying stolen Ukraine grain after the vessel became the focus of a major diplomatic spat between the two countries.

A vessel carrying grain ‌that Ukraine says was stolen from areas occupied by Russia will not unload in Israel, Ukraine said on Thursday, after Kyiv requested Israel to seize the cargo.

All of the legal documents we have, including the cargo’s certificate of origin, show that the cargo is Russian,” the official told the Reuters news agency.
