By KYIV. Nov 28 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Ukraine’s leadership role is especially evident in ensuring food security, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said in a video statement on Saturday.
"Today we held the first Global Food Security Summit. Ukrainians went through genocide and today we are doing everything we can to stop Russia’s new genocidal policy," he said.
"We are not just fighting off aggression. Step by step, we are creating a system that will stop the aggression, dismantle its consequences and guarantee long-term security – the security of Ukraine, the whole of Europe and the world. Food security is one of the key elements of global stability. This is where the leadership role of Ukraine manifests itself most clearly," the president said.
He said the summit was supported by more than 20 states. "The total amount that we have accumulated for ‘Grain from Ukraine’ is already almost $150 million. Work continues. We are preparing up to 60 vessels," he said, adding: "We confirm that never again will hunger be used as a weapon."
