According to him, despite all the difficulties, despite various manipulations by Russia, Ukraine will continue to export agricultural products through its Black Sea ports.

The total amount of food is 11 million tons. The geography is very broad: Morocco, Algeria, Libya, Tunisia, Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, Somalia, Kenya, Yemen, Lebanon, Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Turkey, as well as the countries of the European Union", Zelenskyi noted.

According to him, tens of millions of people, primarily in African countries, have been saved from starvation, in particular by means of deliveries in the framework of the UN World Food Programme from our ports.

Moreover, thanks to the grain initiative we also managed to reduce the pressure on the global food market. This means that food prices are significantly lower than they would be without our food exports

" We have done everything to expand this work. And I thank all our partners who are helping: the UN and Secretary-General Guterres personally, Turkey and President Erdoğan personally. Thanks to everyone in our team who is responsible for this direction. This is a truly important result", Zelenskyi summarized.
