Instead, Ukraine has quietly worked on securing relatively safe exports through the Black Sea, ensuring that grain shipments continue during wartime.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The United Nations brokered a deal in July 2022 to ensure that the \u2018breadbasket of Europe,\u2019 responsible for 30% of the global grain supply, would continue to ship vital grains despite a Russian blockade.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The deal collapsed one year later, and Russia started hitting grain silos, leaving many in fear of a food shortage crisis. However, as it had done throughout the conflict, Ukraine refused to simply fold to Moscow\u2019s pressure and worked tirelessly to create alternative means of shipment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Fox News Digital\u2019s Peter Aitken contributed to this report.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>This post appeared first on FOX NEWS<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Join Fox News for access to this content Plus get unlimited access to thousands of articles, videos and more with your free account!
