Russia's War on Ukraine Hits Global Food Security

Russia's ongoing attacks on Ukraine's grain and food distribution are a threat not just to the country, but to global food security.

Farmers like Kees Huizinga, who has been farming in central Ukraine for over 20 years, are struggling to export their crops due to the risks of death and destruction posed by Russian attacks on ships and ports.

The sinking of the Golden Leo in June was a stark reminder of the human cost of this conflict. The ship, which was carrying a cargo of Ukrainian corn, was struck by three Russian cruise missiles and sank, killing 10 people, including sailors from India and Syria.

Huizinga notes that Russia's war on Ukraine is not just an attack on his country, but also on the global community. 'The world's food security is on the line,' he warns.
