Incredible how entitled Israel and it's supporters are. Ukraine has done so much to support Israel and Israel responds by buying stolen Ukrainian grain from Russia. But apparently it's anti-semitic to 'single out' Israel by calling them out for their behavior.

It is very unwise of Pro-Israel Twitter to think it's a winning move to spite the Europeans and American pro-Ukrainians on Russia selling Ukrainian grain because Ukraine has voted very poorly at the United Nations.

I am appalled, sickened and disgusted by Ukraine's Zelensky. His hypocrisy knows no bounds. Here's why 👇👇

Zelenskyy’s sudden attack on Israel makes more sense in light of his growing alignment with Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. As Ukraine deepens ties with Turkey—now a key broker in Syria—Kyiv is also absorbing Ankara’s regional posture. This isn’t a mood swing. It’s geopolitics.

Zelenskyy SILENT on Turkey (Türkiye) purchasing stolen grain, but he slams Israel. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy is raising quite a stink about Israel allegedly purchasing stolen Ukrainian grain from Russia. This story first appeared in a Reuters article on 04/15 titled "Ukraine broaches 'stolen' Russian grain cargo on call with Israel". The Ukrainian FM took to the internet and put Israel on blast by expressing the need to refrain from buying such products. According to the Reuters article, "Ukrainian official ​estimated in ⁠August that Russia has stolen 15 million tons of Ukrainian grain since the ​start of the full-scale war". So where is it all going? I am glad you asked. Literal tons upon tons have been pouring into Turkey since 2022 and it continues to this day. As a matter of fact, the Abinsk's next stop after Israel was Turkey. Shocking. Surely Zelenskyy is very upset about Turkey continuing to buy the grain off of the EXACT SAME BOAT THAT DOCKED IN ISRAEL! Nope. 6 positive posts about Ukraine's relationship with Turkey have appeared on Zelenskyy's X account in April '26. A search of Zelenskyy's X account for anything negative for "Turkey" or "Türkiye" yield zero results from what I found. Why? Zelenskyy thinks Turkey will protect him from Russia and help him get into the EU. I guess stolen grain is a small price to pay.

⚡️Axios: Israel turns down US request to approve missile supplies to Ukraine. Israel has rejected a U.S. request to allow Germany to send Spike anti-tank missiles to Ukraine, Axios reported on May 25, citing U.S. and Israeli officials.

And there you have it. The vessel hasn’t even entered the port or submitted any documents to Israel and no legal assistance has been requested by Ukraine either. “When you examine you check the facts. The vessel has NOT yet entered the port and has yet to submit its documents. We say again to our Ukrainian friends, if you have any evidence of theft [from Russia] please submit through the appropriate channels. It’s a bit surprising coming from a country [Ukraine] we have supported in International forums, through Humanitarian ways and with energy and generators” -Gideon Saar on the Russia/Ukraine Grain Shipment

Egypt, Turkey, and Iran are the biggest buyers of stolen Ukrainian grain. Who does focusing on Israel benefit?

In any normal country, purchasing stolen goods is an act that entails legal liability. This applies, in particular, to grain stolen by Russia. Another vessel carrying such grain has arrived at a port in Israel and is preparing to unload. This is not – and cannot be – legitimate business. The Israeli authorities cannot be unaware of which ships are arriving at the country’s ports and what cargo they are carrying. Russia is systematically seizing grain on temporarily occupied Ukrainian land and organizing its export through individuals linked to the occupiers. Such schemes violate the laws of the State of Israel itself. Ukraine has taken all necessary steps through diplomatic channels to prevent such incidents. However, we see that yet another such vessel has not been stopped. I have instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine to inform all partners of our state about the situation. Based on information from our intelligence services, Ukraine is preparing a relevant sanctions package that will cover both those directly transporting this grain and the individuals and legal entities attempting to profit from this criminal scheme. We will also coordinate with European partners to ensure that the relevant individuals are included in European sanctions regimes. Ukraine counts on partnership and mutual respect with every state. We are genuinely working to enhance security, particularly in the Middle East region. We expect that the Israeli authorities will respect Ukraine and refrain from actions that undermine our bilateral relations.

You can support Ukraine against evil Russian aggression 100% but also recognize that Israel owes Ukraine nothing. Ukraine has voted against Israel at the UN—alongside its own enemy, Russia—hundreds of times. Why should Israel be a geopolitical sucker?
