15 листопада ми запустили гуманітарну програму #GrainFromUkraine, щоб допомагати людям, які найбільше постраждали від гострої продовольчої кризи. Сьогодні до Дорале прибуло перше судно з гуманітарним вантажем у 25 тисяч тонн пшениці для 🇪🇹. Відправляємо їжу. Відправляємо надію. pic.twitter.com/dzhAttytqM

Background: In November, Ukraine launched the Grain from Ukraine humanitarian initiative, which will provide grain to at least 5 million people by the end of spring 2023. The initiative foresees participating countries purchasing agricultural products directly from Ukrainian producers and transferring them to countries on the verge of famine.
