Peloni: Zelensky’s faux outrage against Israel over the Russian grain sale is made patently clear by the below report of Russian stolen Ukrainian grain actually being sold in Ukraine via a Russia-Turkey-Ukraine route. Take note that, as FM Sa’ar emphasized, no complaint or evidence was raised by Ukraine prior to Zelensky’s inexplicably public charges against Israel being filed via his Twitter account. Notably, I would argue that given these facts, the issue of the stolen grain, whether it was stolen or not, and whether it was to be sold in Israel or not, was clearly never the point of Zelensky’s outrage. So, what might the reason be for Europe’s star salesman to spontaneously concoct a story which has at its core no purpose but to delegitimize Israel on the international stage, and coincident to this, the EU raises threats of sanctions against Israel? Was European threats of the sanctions the actual purpose behind Zelensky’s grain ruse? Is this to be the basis by which Europe begins its post-Orban assault on Israel? Notably, Israel has provided Ukraine with significant assistance over the past several years, even as Zelensky has maintained a majority of his support for ‘Palestine’, voting against Israel in nearly every vote raised in the UNGA against Israel, even as he found himself voting alongside Russia. Hence, it begs the question of whether Zelensky’s intention in this gambit has been to play the court Jew for Europe’s beginning assault on Israel despite all that Israel has done to support Ukraine over the past several years.

Erisler, a Turkish miller that purchased over 54,000 tons of stolen Ukrainian grain from occupied Mariupol in 2023–2024 also sells flour and instant noodles into the Ukrainian consumer market and supplies the UN World Food Programme. It is sourced through a Russian company, Nika LLC, whose owner also runs Roboavia, a sanctioned drone manufacturer supplying the Russian military.
“In 2013, the company began manufacturing what it called ‘Turkey’s first national instant noodle brand’ made from wheat flour and widely sold in Ukraine.” OCCRP (March 27, 2026).
Erisler’s instant noodles are widely sold in Ukraine. It has 850,000 tons of annual milling capacity across four mills, and the documented Mariupol shipments of 54,000 tons over two years are roughly 3% of the total.
Ukrainska Pravda (March 25, 2026) citing http://Slidstvo.Info reports, “The Turkish company produces flour and instant noodles, which are also sold in Ukraine.”
The Erisler case is, on the documented facts alone, more outrageous than the Israeli shipments. Russian drone manufacturer sells stolen wheat from occupied Mariupol to a Turkish miller which distributes to the UN supply chain and Ukrainian consumers. That’s a chain that funds the war effort against Ukraine while feeding Ukraine’s own consumer market and the UN’s humanitarian operations.
Ukraine’s response has been a Slidstvo investigation, an OCCRP report, no ambassadorial summons, no presidential statement, no sanctions threat — relative silence.
