Civilians were rushing out of the city of southern Ukraine, which they celebrated taking just weeks before but had been under Russian artillery bombardment for many days.
As Ukraine remembered the Stalin-era famine, it sought to ensure that Russia’s war against Ukraine didn’t deprive the rest of the world of its vital food export.
On Saturday, a line of trucks, vans and cars stretched almost a mile along the outskirts town.
Many civilians regretted not being allowed to remain after days of intense bombardment from Russian forces.
The chief of Ukraine’s Police said Saturday that at most 32 people were killed by Russian shelling in Kherson since pro-Moscow troops withdrew two week ago.
On Saturday, Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukrainian President, hosted a summit in Kyiv to launch a plan for exporting $150 million worth grain to countries most at risk of famine or drought. Zelensky stated that Kyiv has raised funds from more 20 countries and the European Union in order to export grain to countries like Ethiopia, Sudan, South Sudan and Somalia.
