Ukraine to ship 28,600 tons of grain to famine-stricken Somalia

Ukraine will soon transfer 28.6 thousand tons of wheat to Somalia in addition to the previous shipments of grain to Africa. As reported by President Volodymyr Zelensky on Twitter.

“Ukraine continues to save the world with its grain. In addition to previous ships with 🇺🇦 grain for Africa, 28,600 tons of 🇺🇦 wheat will arrive in Somalia in the coming weeks. In this country, due to the war of the RF against 🇺🇦, the UN predicted a famine by the end of this year.” the head of state noted.

Zelensky reminded that at one time the UN predicted a famine in Somalia by the end of this year due to the full-scale invasion of Russia into Ukraine.

As reported by Ukrinform, on August 30, the first UN chartered ship with 23 thousand tons of Ukrainian wheat arrived in Africa.
