Three years have passed since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, inflicting devastating suffering on the Ukrainian people. With Russia and Ukraine being world superpowers in fertilizer and food, the war has had far-reaching implications for the entire world. It has also exposed how fragile our global food systems are and the crucial role fertilizers play. Known as the breadbasket of Europe, Ukraine is one of the world's largest wheat and barley exporters - accounting for nine percent of global wheat exports in 2020 alone. Yara has stood proudly alongside Ukraine's farmers before the war and throughout, in their efforts to keep growing the food the world depends on. Since day one, Yara’s Security and Emergency Preparedness Director in Europe, Aleksander Jankov, has been in daily contact with our Ukrainian colleagues, supporting them with practical preparedness advice, and by sharing timely, reliable, and relevant information about the state of security on the ground. "The Ukrainian people continue to make monumental efforts to defend their country and maintain food production. We have 11 dedicated colleagues in Ukraine who are an integral part of Ukrainian defense. Farmers risk their lives in the fields and our colleagues in Ukraine are doing everything they can to support them. Their work is crucial in safeguarding their country and ensuring food security in the world," shares Aleksander. As the conflict continues to disrupt global food security, our commitment to supporting Ukrainian farmers remains unwavering. We stand with our colleagues and farmers in Ukraine who are showing remarkable strength and perseverance.
