Ukraine war briefing: Kyiv claims victory over ‘shadow grain fleet’ shipment to Israel

The Panama-flagged vessel Panormitis, carrying grain allegedly stolen by Russia from occupied Ukrainian territory, departed Israeli waters after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signalled a "systematic" campaign against the "shadow grain fleet," with Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko crediting Ukrainian procedural measures for the withdrawal. Ukraine's SBU security service simultaneously struck Russian oil refineries at Perm and Orsk, while Swedish authorities moved to seize the bulk carrier Caffa over illegal Ukrainian grain exports.
