Another batch of Ukrainian grain was delivered to Sudan

This week, the Grain from Ukraine initiative, Sudanese partners, and the UN World Food Program delivered another batch of Ukrainian grain to Sudan.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced this on the social network Х.

“This week, the Grain from Ukraine initiative, our Sudanese partners and the UN World Food Program delivered another batch of Ukrainian grain to Sudan, which will allow us to provide monthly assistance to 2 million people facing acute hunger and food insecurity,” the President said.

According to him, Ukraine continues to support the Sudanese people even as it defends itself against Russian aggression.

“This is our guiding principle: we not only seek help from the world, but also help others in the world. The #GrainFromUkraine initiative will continue to deliver new cargoes to more countries to mitigate the food crisis and help those in need,” the Head of State noted.

He added that food security is an important component of the Ukrainian formula for peace and called on all countries to join its implementation and participate in the upcoming Peace Summit in Switzerland.

“We also call on all countries to condemn Russia’s terrorist attacks on Ukrainian agriculture, port infrastructure and freedom of navigation in the Black Sea,” Zelenskyy said.

Russian strikes have already damaged or destroyed 215 port infrastructure facilities in Odesa region, the President informed. “Despite these difficult circumstances, Ukraine continues to send cargo, including vital food, to countries around the world, including Africa and Asia. Thus, within the framework of the Grain from Ukraine initiative, critical humanitarian cargo is being delivered to a number of countries, including Somalia, Ethiopia, Kenya, Yemen and Sudan,” Zelenskyy noted.
