Key points:

1. Ukraine safeguards global food security even during the war

Despite daily shelling, mined fields, and drone attacks, Ukraine remains a major supplier of sunflower oil, meal, and corn, helping to keep global food markets stable.

2. Ukraine continues to support others because it knows the price of hunger

Through the Grain from Ukraine programme, over 300,000 tonnes of food have already been delivered to countries in need, including African states.

3. The memory of the Holodomor is a reminder of genocide and its lessons

The Ambassador stressed that the Holodomor was a deliberate extermination of Ukrainians, and that today’s Russian aggression reproduces the same tactics aimed at erasing culture, language, identity, and the very existence of Ukraine as a nation.
