Ukraine's Agricultural Partnership with East African Countries: Cooperation Opportunities
Russia's invasion of Ukraine has triggered a global food crisis, pushing millions of people to the brink of a humanitarian catastrophe. The countries of East Africa have been hit the hardest, with hunger rates at their highest on the continent.
