Ukraine has about $10 billion worth of grain to sell after an agreement with Russia to unblock supplies and will be able to sell this year's crop as well, President Volodymyr Zelensky said, quoted by Reuters.

"This is another proof that Ukraine is able to withstand the war," he said in his evening address to the nation.

Earlier today, Moscow and Kyiv concluded a historic agreement to unblock grain exports through Ukrainian Black Sea ports, which gave rise to hope that the global food crisis exacerbated by the Russian invasion will be able to calm down, notes BTA.

About 20 million tons of last year's harvest will be exported.

We will have the opportunity to implement this year's as well.

We have about $10 billion worth of grain available, Zelensky added.

Russia and Ukraine have signed grain export agreements with the UN and Turkey

The agreement, which was brokered by the UN and Turkey, is a chance to avoid a global food disaster that could cause political chaos in many countries.

Provocations by Russia, attempts to discredit Ukrainian and international efforts are also possible.

But we believe in the UN, the President of Ukraine also stated.
