Austria has announced an additional 2 million euros in support of the Ukrainian grain initiative Grain from Ukraine.
Austrian Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg stated this during a joint press conference with his Ukrainian counterpart Andriy Sybiha in Vienna, Ukrinform reports.
“We are ready to support the Grain from Ukraine initiative with an additional 2 million euros through the Austrian Development Agency in order to reduce the impact of Putin’s war on global food security,” Schallenberg said.
The minister emphasized that the consequences of Russian aggression are felt not only in Ukraine, but also throughout the world, especially in the context of global food security. “Ukraine is a key player in ensuring food security. Putin is not only attacking the Ukrainian people, but also cynically ignoring the needs of millions of people who depend on Ukrainian grain,” he emphasized.
According to Schallenberg, Austria has already allocated 264 million euros for humanitarian and financial assistance to Ukraine.
USM previously reported that Ukraine delivered 14.5 thousand tons of corn to Malawi as part of Grain From Ukraine.
