๐Ÿ’ธ 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. 

๐Ÿšข 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.
