Ukraine is becoming a leader in global efforts for the food security of the world. This was stated by the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky during the annual address to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.

«This year has shown that without the Ukrainian farmer, without Ukrainian agricultural exports it is impossible to provide not only food, but also social security for dozens of countries in Africa, Asia and Europe. Our two food initiatives have returned vital stability to the world,» he said.

Ukraine has sent more than 15 million tons of food to 40 countries within the framework of «grain initiative» for 5 months. Grain from Ukraine has already been joined by more than 30 donor states, which amounted to $ 200 million for the humanitarian initiative.

«Even now, when it is hard for us, we have shared Ukrainian bread with those to whom it is even harder,» Zelensky stressed.
