Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha:

"Friendly Ukrainian-Israeli relations have the potential to benefit both countries, and Russia's illegal trade with stolen Ukrainian grain should not undermine them.

It is difficult to understand Israel's lack of appropriate response to Ukraine's legitimate request regarding the previous vessel that delivered stolen goods to Haifa.

Now that another such vessel has arrived in Haifa, we once again warn Israel against accepting the stolen grain and harming our relations.

In this context, we have already officially summoned the Israeli ambassador to Ukraine tomorrow morning to present our protest note and request appropriate action."

NEW: An Iranian-directed spy built explosives in Haifa and planned a bus bombing.

Gaidarov, 22, ran a makeshift lab in 2 apartments in the same building, producing TATP (highly unstable explosive compound) daily, sometimes hundreds of grams per batch, accumulating about 10 kg.

According to the charges, he knew the explosives were intended for attacks, including against public figures and crowded civilian locations such as bus stops.

In 1 test, he and an accomplice detonated an improvised device in an underground parking lot, filmed the blast, and fled due to the force of the explosion.
