"Ugrain" 🇺🇦🌾

💸 The "Grain from Ukraine" initiative demonstrated how important global food security is for Kyiv: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy sat down with allied nations to launch a plan to export $150 million worth of grain to countries that are most vulnerable to famine and drought. 

    • The plan is to send at least 60 vessels from Ukrainian ports to countries such as Ethiopia, Sudan, South Sudan, Somalia, and Yemen. 

🚢 Since Russia's aggressive war against Ukraine started, the world has received 10 million tons fewer agricultural products than in the same period in 2021, due to a Russian blockade of Ukrainian ports.

    • Regardless, the Kremlin says food exported from Ukraine's Black Sea ports under a UN-brokered plan to lift the blockade has not been reaching the most vulnerable.
