On Holodomor Remembrance Day, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized the importance of Ukraine as one of the world’s donors of food security and stressed the need to ensure the security of food supply routes.
“Since the launch of our Grain from Ukraine program, 20 million people have been saved from starvation. And this is only thanks to our humanitarian program. In total, Ukrainian food exports provide 400 million people in 100 countries,” he wrote in a telegram on Saturday.
Zelensky emphasized that Ukraine is one of the world’s largest donors of food security. “And we maintain this importance despite the full-scale war.”
“That is why it is so important that we continue to stand together in protecting food security, the security of food supply routes and other critical exports. With this war against Ukraine, Russia has shown that there are no countries in the world that are really far from each other. Everything in the world is now connected. We are all equally interested in ensuring that no one in the world fights against food,” Zelensky emphasized.
