President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said that the supply of agricultural products from Ukraine guarantees global food security.

“Just today, four ships with agricultural products for Asian countries left our ports. At these hours, more than 65,000 tonnes of wheat enter the port of Sudan for unloading. Yesterday, a bulker with wheat departed for Kenya - more than 50,000 tonnes. Vessels for Lebanon and Libya are now being loaded in Odesa. In the Pivdennyi Port, a ship bound for India is waiting to be loaded... That is, the geography of Ukrainian agricultural exports by sea is very broad,” Zelensky said in his traditional video address on Thursday evening.

“Literally every working day of the grain export initiative refutes Russian lies about it. Ukraine supplies agricultural products to consumers from different continents. And it is our supply that guarantees food security at the global level,” he stressed.
