Ukraine and the United Nations have warned of a huge impact on global food security following the Kakhovka dam burst. The UN's aid chief, Martin Griffiths, told the �鶹�� there was massive concern about the environmental destruction of what he called the world's breadbasket. He said food prices were bound to rise. Ukraine’s Deputy Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food, Taras Vysotskyi, said the main crops affected would be soybeans, corn, sunflowers and wheat, and this would have an impact on vulnerable countries, in particular in North and Sub-Saharan Africa. He told Newsday: “This is a terrible situation…before the war, Ukrainian products were enough to feed around 400 million people around the world…now we can’t do the same.” (Picture: Shows an area flooded by rising water levels following damage sustained to the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant dam in Chornobaivka, Kherson region.
