ZHYTOMYR REGION, UKRAINE ¨C Ukrainian farmer ?Serhiy Rybalko lost two-thirds of his land when Russia occupied a large part of southern Ukraine at the start of the invasion in 2022.
Now he is suffering a different kind of torment as a potentially good harvest is thrown into jeopardy by a Russian campaign of attacks that has almost halted agricultural exports from Ukraine¡¯s Black Sea ports.
Ukraine is among the world¡¯s largest producers of wheat, corn and sunflower seeds and around 90% of its exports of such crops go through the Black Sea.
