BREAKING:
Hardcore Ukraine supporters inform me that Zelenskyy turning a blind eye to Turkey buying stolen Ukrainian grain is OK because Turkey donates munitions to Ukraine.
So, because Israel doesn't send free things to Ukraine, Z put them on blast.
That's called extortion.

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.

If you want the real truth, "Christian Lebanon" is exaggerated. The government has not done a census because they fear the real numbers would drive all Christian politicians out of office.
The fact that everyone (including Israelis) pretends like Lebanon is still 1/2 Christian is a joke.
Just think about it, why would young Christians stay in Lebanon?

@grok @Adoniyahu_ @DanBurmawy @grok why was there no census since 1932? Is that typical for countries to not conduct census? How is the Christian population estimated without a census?
English
**Latest estimates (no census since 1932):** Lebanon's total resident population is roughly 5.5-6 million. Christians are estimated at 30-35% (~1.8-2.2 million actual residents), though registered voter rolls (37% Christian for 21+) include many emigrants.
Ongoing emigration (hundreds of thousands since 2019, including 220k+ in 2025) hits younger Christians hard. No precise under-40 breakdown exists by sect, but Lebanon's median age is ~31 and Christians have lower fertility + higher youth outflow, so roughly 50-60% of resident Christians (~900k-1.3M) are likely under 40, or about 15-22% of total population. Figures are approximate from sources like Statistics Lebanon, Wikipedia, and recent reports.
English
Bullshit. The majority of Christians in Lebanon, a very small minority of Muslims in Lebanon, and Israel are on one side. But on the other side, it’s not only Hezbollah, it’s Hezbollah, a minority of Christians, and the absolute majority of Muslims, both Sunnis and Shia.

@Adoniyahu_ @DanBurmawy @grok what's the latest statistics for how many Christians are actually residing in Lebanon (not just registered born) under the age of 40. What percentage of the total population?
English
@ChiefHasbara @DanBurmawy 30-40%
Nearly 500000 are under 30

No, Zelensky did not publicly accuse India the way he just did Israel. Ukraine has issued broad diplomatic warnings to many countries (including via its embassy in New Delhi) about Russian exports that may include grain stolen from occupied Ukrainian territories. India imports large volumes of Russian grain overall, but unlike the specific Israel case or recent Bangladesh sanctions push, there's no record of Zelensky naming India directly in public statements on this. The "same accusations last summer" appear overstated.
English
@ZelenskyyUa Removed the Ukrainian flag from my profile. Until Ukraine gets better leaders, it does not deserve the place in leading the world.

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.
English
Nope, they were not.
He singled out a single country (out of 70+).
For all the critic Trump administration got after the famous Zelensky "talk to the hand" moment in a white house, in retrospect, Zelensky was treated exactly as he deserves.
Smart politician would use private and formal channels to communicate political needs - not unfairly throw one of the strongest potential allies under the international political "bus"

@ChiefHasbara @EVKontorovich @DanLinnaeus Dude India was hit by these same accusations last summer
English
@JorgeRa31675206 @EVKontorovich @DanLinnaeus @grok is this true? Was India accused by Zelensky publicly for importing grain from Russia?
English

Zelensky's beef is wrong as a matter of international law. In cases of territorial disputes, or even clear belligerent occupation, there is no requirement on third countries to boycott goods from the occupied territory. Thus the EU imports tomatoes from Western Sahara & cheese from Northern Cyprus. Many countries have imported phosphates from W.Sahara. Israel certainly has no duty to make inquiries into the political status of goods imported in its ports.

@EVKontorovich @DanLinnaeus Why is Israel signed out from 70+ countries? Why does Zelensky not mention India, for example.

@gothburz People working in press today are truly some of the worst people in our society.

I am a senior coordinating producer for the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. I have worked eleven of these. I was backstage at the Washington Hilton when the shots were fired.
The first thing I heard was not the gunfire. It was glass.
A champagne flute hit the floor of the International Ballroom at approximately 9:47 PM. Then a second. Then the sound that I have since been told was a 12-gauge shotgun, which from inside the ballroom sounded like a heavy door slamming in a parking garage. Then the Secret Service moved. They moved the President, the Vice President, the First Lady through the east corridor in under ninety seconds, which is protocol, which is practiced, which is the one part of the evening that worked exactly as it was designed.
Everything else was improvised.
I know this because I ordered the wine. 94 tables. Two bottles per table. 188 bottles of a Willamette Valley pinot noir that the Association selected in February after a tasting committee spent three meetings debating between Oregon and Burgundy. Oregon won. The budget was $14,200. I signed the invoice. I can tell you the vintage. I can tell you the distributor. I can tell you the per-bottle cost because I negotiated it down from $89 to $76.
What I cannot tell you is how 147 of those bottles left the building during an active shooter evacuation.
I can tell you what I saw. A correspondent from a network I will not name picked up two bottles on her way to the east exit. Full bottles. One in each hand. She was wearing heels and she did not spill. A man in a tuxedo tucked one inside his jacket the way you'd shoplift a paperback at an airport bookstore. A woman picked up a bottle, looked at the label, put it back, and took a different one.
She checked the vintage. During an evacuation. That's editorial judgment under pressure.
The theme of the dinner was "A Free Press for a Free People." The banners were still hanging when the evacuation began. I know because I hung them. Twenty-three banners, navy blue, gold serif lettering, $11,400 for the set. They were still hanging when 2,600 guests were directed to the exits by Secret Service agents, one of whom had just taken a shotgun round in his ballistic vest and walked to the ambulance on his own feet.
The agent's vest costs approximately $800. The wine that left the building was worth $11,172 at Association cost. At restaurant markup, roughly $29,000. The guests saved more in wine than the vest that saved the agent.
That's priority.
The video went viral by 10:15 PM. Not the video of the evacuation. Not the Secret Service response. The wine. Three guests in formalwear grabbing bottles off white tablecloths while being told to move toward the exits, while a man with a shotgun stood in the same motor entrance where John Hinckley shot Ronald Reagan 45 years ago.
A woman near the service entrance was crying. She said "I just wanna go home." She was not holding wine. She was holding her phone. She was the only person I saw that night who looked afraid rather than inconvenienced.
That's the distinction. The rest of the ballroom did not look afraid. They looked interrupted. An active shooter at the WHCD is a logistical problem. The dinner was disrupted. The timeline was off. The after-party at the French Ambassador's residence would need to be rescheduled. These are contingency matters. Contingency matters have solutions. Fear is for people who attend events without security details.
I have produced eleven of these dinners. I have managed seating charts that require diplomatic-grade negotiations. I have handled comedians, cabinet secretaries, network anchors, and the editor of a major newspaper who once threatened to leave because his table was behind a column.
I have never, in eleven years, seen a guest leave a $76 bottle on the table during an evacuation. I have also never seen a guest check the label first. Both observations are consistent. The bottle is worth taking. The evacuation is worth surviving. The instinct is to do both simultaneously.
188 bottles placed. 41 recovered. 147 unaccounted for. One agent shot. Zero guests injured. Zero bottles broken.
A free press for a free people. The press is free. The wine was $76 a bottle. They took it anyway.

Over 90 countries, including Turkey, Iran, Syria, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Azerbaijan, Bangladesh, and Vietnam have purchased stolen Ukrainian grain sold by Russia. Russia sells it to countries worldwide. But Zelenskyy has only called out Israel in a post like this.
Some of those countries are consistent purchasers of such grain, in fact. Israel has bought it only a couple of times, it seems. That’s the part that piques my interest here.
English
Ukraine has voted against Israel in almost every UN resolution, even after October 7th, when you’d think they might understand Israel a bit more. So no, Ukraine and Israel are not allies.
Israel is under pressure from half the world and has been at war for three years, so yes, they can and should get supplies from wherever they can.
But here’s what stands out. Over a dozen countries are buying from Russia, including Egypt and Turkey, in far higher volumes than Israel, yet the backlash is nowhere near the same. I don’t even think Zelensky has said a word about them. Makes you wonder if it’s because people are losing interest in his war, and he knows anti-Israel content gets attention.

@ZelenskyyUa To be clear, you took your evidence from an anti-israeli Qatar-backed leftist Haaretz (that even liberal Israelis don't bother reading) and then singled out Israel from 70 countries.
If you still wonder why Israel is not fully behind Ukraine, this is why.
English
Because it is not. Not in a special way that Zelensky makes it out to be.
He is selectively using Israel, that is why.
@grok what evidence exists other than Zelensky's words that Israel is buying Russian grain acquired from the Ukrainian territories? Is there more evidence against Israel than against other countries such as India, or UAE (for example)? What other countries can the same arguments be applied to?
English
For 3 years said nothing about Europe buying Russian gas, Russian everything, but has the guts to blame Israel for something that probably effects hundreds of countries - from India and Turkey to Israel and UAE.
