Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Saturday said Russian "aggression" and efforts to obstruct our food export slashed halved Kiev's grain shipments.
"Before this war which is destroying our potential, including our agricultural potential, we exported six and a half million tonnes of food every month," Zelensky said, noting that although Moscow continues its offensive Ukrainian farmers continue to cultivate the fields. "Ukraine has always been and will always be a responsible participant in global food-market relations," the president promised.
His comments come after the Russian defense ministry said it doesn't see the UN assisting in the normalization of agricultural exports in the region.
