Volodymyr Zelensky raised the alarm Monday night. The war in Ukraine could cause a surge in grain exports and blockage of Ukrainian grain, resulting in 75 million tonnes. The Ukrainian president stated that between 20 and 25 millions tonnes of cereals are currently blocked. This is in addition to the fact that Ukraine was the fourth-largest exporter of wheat before the Russian invasion.
Ukraine requires maritime corridors to help it overcome the possibility of a shortage within a few months. The Ukrainian president said that the issue is being discussed with Turkey and the United Kingdom, as well as the UN. He also stated that sea exports allow for the export of 10,000,000 tons per month. The Ukraine is also in discussions with Poland and other Baltic countries about small-scale grain exports by rail.

He received 211 votes for his cause, compared to 148. Although he cannot be subject to another motion of confidence for one year, his authority will likely be significantly diminished. His camp had 40% of its deputies voting against him. This is a significant group of rebels that could paralyze government action.
