The United States of America will provide the United Nations World Food Program (WFP) with $68 million to purchase wheat in Ukraine in order to direct it to the most vulnerable countries in terms of food security.

US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken announced this on Twitter.

“The United States will contribute $68 million to the World Food Program to buy Ukrainian wheat to address the world’s pressing food crisis. We are committed to supporting global food security for the most vulnerable and call on all countries to follow suit,” the US government official wrote.

Ukraine predicts to collect about 20 million tons of wheat this year, which is three times more than we consume during the year.

"We can already say with confidence: if the war situation does not worsen, Ukrainians will have more than enough high-quality food wheat for consumption. And we will export everything that exceeds the necessary domestic volumes to help support global food stability," assured Markian Dmytrasevych, Deputy Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine.
