KYIV, April 19 – Ukraine's 28 leading agricultural associations called on the leadership of the European Union not to restrict the export of Ukrainian food, since the bans of certain EU countries threaten global food security and contradict many international treaties, while they asked for help in developing the logistics infrastructure of Eastern Europe.

"The paths of solidarity must work to prevent starvation in the poor countries of Africa and Asia, and, consequently, a new wave of migration to European countries. Without the full operation of these export routes, the world's value added chains and the supply of products are further destroyed, which leads to financial losses both Ukrainian and foreign producers," the Ukrainian Agrarian Council says.
