Kenya, South Sudan, and Somalia are among African countries which will benefit from a donation of grains from Ukraine meant to help alleviate the growing hunger crisis on the continent, despite Kyiv’s own internal woes in the face of a war with Russia.
Kyiv has partnered with international donors including the European Union to establish the “Grain from Ukraine Humanitarian Programme”, which will enable several hunger-stricken countries in Africa and Asia receive food donations from the war-torn eastern European nation.
