Ukrainian farmers continue harvest amid ongoing war

Farmers in Ukraine’s second-largest city Kharkiv are continuing to harvest even though they are under fire as the Russia-Ukraine war drags on. Ukraine, known as the world's breadbasket, is the globe's fifth-largest wheat exporter, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization. UN officials warned in June of endangered world food security due to Russia's ongoing war on Ukraine that started on Feb. 24, saying it poses the threat of famine, destabilization, and mass migration worldwide as Moscow blockades the Black Sea ports.
