🌾 UKRAINE BLOCKS “PANORMITIS” GRAIN VESSEL FROM UNLOADING IN ISRAEL: Ukraine confirmed that the “Panormitis” vessel, accused of transporting grain from temporarily occupied Ukrainian territories, will not unload its cargo in Israel. Kyiv said the outcome followed legal and diplomatic pressure.
Ukrainian officials said the move is intended to send a broader signal to maritime operators, insurers, and governments not to participate in what Kyiv defines as trade in stolen grain from occupied areas. Ukraine said it is continuing to monitor the vessel and plans to expand international sanctions targeting Russia’s “shadow grain fleet.”
