The Israeli importer Zenziper is refusing to accept the delivery, The Times of Israel reports.
Ukraine says the cargo contains Ukrainian grain stolen by Russia. In recent days, Ukraine has condemned Israel, accusing it of violating its own laws.
Now Ukraine is praising the move instead.
“This shows that Ukraine's legal and diplomatic measures have been effective,” wrote Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha on X.
“It is also a clear signal to all other ships, captains, operators, insurers and governments: Do not buy stolen Ukrainian grain. Do not become complicit in this crime.”
