By KYIV. Dec 5 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Ukraine is making a significant contribution to world food security, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a video message on Friday.
"We use every day so that the world sees and feels that global stability is possible only together with Ukraine," he said.
According to him, today the third vessel has already entered the port of Odesa within the framework of our Grain from Ukraine initiative.
"Some 25,000 tonnes of humanitarian wheat will be sent to Somalia. The second vessel, which is finishing loading in the port of Chornomorsk, will be heading to Ethiopia with 30,000 tonnes of wheat on board. Also, the first vessel under this program – Grain from Ukraine – is heading to Ethiopia. And in general, by the end of spring, we will send about 60 vessels with such humanitarian cargo," the president said.
He called it “literally saves millions of people from starvation. And I am grateful to all our partners who joined the Ukrainian initiative.”
"Another initiative of ours – grain export – made it possible to bring almost 13 million tonnes of Ukrainian foodstuffs to the food market. A significant contribution to world security. We are doing everything to increase the supply," Zelensky said.
