Zelensky: Ukraine's harvest this year is under threat of being twice less than in 2021.

In 2021, Ukraine's grain harvest amounted to 107 million tonnes. President Volodymyr Zelensky said on July 31 that Ukraine’s primary goal is to prevent a global food crisis caused by the Russian invasion. On July 22, Kyiv and Moscow signed an UN-backed deal that envisions safe passage of Ukrainian grain from three ports in Odesa Oblast. The first ship could set off on Aug.1.
