Nov 23, 2024 | War | 0 |

In Kyiv, participants gathered for the third time to support the Grain From Ukraine program, which has effectively helped millions by saving 20 million people from hunger and sustaining 400 million globally through food exports. The program is vital for various regions, including Africa and Asia, amid ongoing challenges from Russian aggression, which aims to create a global food crisis for power rather than profit. The Russian blockade of ports and targeted strikes have severely damaged food infrastructure, highlighting the interconnectedness of global food security. The speaker expressed gratitude to farmers and international partners for their efforts and stressed the importance of remembrance for past famines like the Holodomor, urging vigilance against future man-made catastrophes. The gathering reinforced commitments to combat hunger and uphold human dignity.
