Russia’s ongoing invasion of Ukraine has significantly disrupted the country’s agricultural production, the UK has warned.

A defence intelligence update on the conflict from the Ministry of Defence (MoD) said the Ukrainian grain harvest for 2022 “is likely to be around 20 per cent lower than 2021 due to reduced sowing areas following the invasion.”
