Quote: "Today, I discussed with our government officials – the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and Food – the issue of food assistance under the Grain from Ukraine programme, including aid for Syria. This is our humanitarian program, which has already contributed significantly to stabilising the food situation in vulnerable regions around the world. 

Now, we can help Syrians with Ukrainian wheat, flour, and oil – our products that play a global role in ensuring food security. 

We are coordinating with our partners and the Syrian side to address logistical issues. We will certainly support this region so that stability there can become a foundation for us in moving toward real peace."

Background: On 14 December, Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine is ready to assist Syria in preventing a food crisis, particularly through the humanitarian programme Grain from Ukraine.
