“People are currently struggling to buy basic things. So imagine that prices have increased by 100% to 200% by the end of the year?
“Millions of people, a group of elderly people who are internally, will be pricing. So what will they do? The only hopes will be to rely on food gifts from organizations like ours.”
The UN World Food Program (WFP) said that approximately one -third of the population of Ukraine in the facade regions of this year is insecure.

According to Mr. Biecheko, the food aid of Ukraine in these regions continues to be “continuous high, and since the group has increased 112%, 111% and 150%, respectively, such as a nut, sunflower oil and eggs, respectively.
52 -year -old Natalia Oleksando, near Lviv in Western Ukraine, said that buying food on the table for her family has become a “real problem”.
He told Express: “A few years [ago]Everything had more money in stores and people to buy something. But now we’re going back in time, and now we’re starting to fire everything, including my family.
“Every little meat we have, we try to put it in a box… We know that there will be much more difficult times in Ukraine that we haven’t seen for a long time.”
Some of the most fertile territory of Ukraine were lost due to war and Mr. Biechko expressed concerns that herds of grasshoppers in the south of the country may affect some harvests that are estimated to be higher than expected.

Farmers in the Zaporizhzhia region reported that sunflower plants were destroyed by insects up to one third.
It is believed that the grasshoppers began to grow in the swamp areas created after the Kakhovka Dam exploded by Russia two years ago.
This week, a Ukrainian minister is expected to be “a little below” last year, while corn is expected to be higher.
39 -year -old Volodymyr Bukai runs a farm in the Southern Mykolaiv region, about 18 miles away from the existing façade.
Express told the farmers in the region that he harvested “three times less” than last year.

Ukraine is one of the most productive agricultural regions in the world and is an important part of European food safety.
Dr Rachel Duffy, a lecturer at Kent University, which investigates agriculture and food supply chains extensively, warned that the problems in Ukraine can be felt in the UK.
He said: “cereals such as wheat and corn are often called ‘Europe’s bread basket’ because it supplies more than 80% of the EU’s sunflower oil.
“The war in Ukraine has led to a decrease in the production and exports of these key goods. As a result, farmers face higher production costs for lock inputs such as animal feed, and consumers see higher prices for bread, food oil and meat.
“The effect is felt not only in the safe but in the wider food economy – from production delays to the usability of the product.”
Mr. Biechko said that hope for Ukraine always gives priority to local products in food aid, but it is becoming increasingly difficult due to cost increases.
“We bring [more] Rice is now to close a part of India and Paraguay, ”he added.
The warning comes because there is no breakthrough in the peace talks, which aim to end the war in the fourth year.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that this week, Kremlin said that after a dam of a Russian missiles and drones in which he killed at least 23 people in Kiev, he kat chose ballistic instead of a negotiation table ”.
