Ukraine, long known as the ‘bread basket of Europe,’ is one of the world’s biggest exporters of wheat, corn and sunflower oil, but much of that flow has been halted by the war.

After abandoning its bungled attempt to storm Kyiv two months ago, Russia declared that taking the entire Donbas is its main objective.

Meanwhile, Russian forces continue to fight for control of Sievierodonetsk.

Deteriorating conditions raise fears that Sieverodonetsk could become the next Mariupol.
