June harvest vulnerable to fires from shelling
As 32-foot-high mounds of sunflower meal smoulder among the blackened ruins of one of Ukraine's top agricultural terminals, farmers in this front-line region are scrambling tosurvive a harvestunder Russian fire reportsReuters.
Farmers see Russia'sshelling of the Nika-Tera port facilityin the southern city of Mykolaiv on June 4 as just the most dramatic example of a wider assault on a pillar of Ukraine's economy - and the world's.
Farmer Volodymyr Onyschuk toldReutersthat Russia wants to end the agricultural stream of income into Ukraine.
Crops will be vulnerable to fire caused by shelling, he said, and that could be "hell" for farmers when the harvest season begins in coming weeks.
