Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is attending the U.N. General Assembly, seeking international support to mitigate the ongoing conflict that has caused significant military and civilian losses on both sides.
Recent analyses indicate that over 500,000 military casualties have been registered, impacting global grain supplies significantly, as Ukraine and Russia contribute to a considerable portion of the world’s wheat and corn exports.
