Ukraine has officially approached Israel through diplomatic and legal channels with a request to take measures regarding the vessel "Panormitis." The Office of the Prosecutor General sent a corresponding request to the Israeli authorities based on a Ukrainian court decision to seize the vessel as part of an ongoing investigation,
The vessel, as the minister noted, "is suspected of transporting a grain cargo that was illegally exported from a closed port in the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine in violation of international law and Ukrainian legislation."
This is not Twitter diplomacy, but a very specific legal and diplomatic request for international legal assistance that requires a response. We expect the Israeli side to take it seriously, rather than responding with emotional statements,
Addendum
This statement came after Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar stated that Ukraine had allegedly failed to provide any evidence for its claims. Sa'ar claimed that as of Tuesday, Ukraine had not submitted any request for legal assistance and rejected what he called "Twitter diplomacy."
