According to NASA, about 5.8 million tons of wheat were harvested in the Ukrainian territories not under the control of the authorities in Kyiv.
Otherwise, a total of approximately 26.6 tons of wheat were harvested in Ukraine this year - significantly more than the estimated amount.
22 percent of the harvest was harvested in areas that are under Russian control, mostly in the eastern part of the country, BTA adds.
