Sowing campaign begins in 21 regions of Ukraine – PM Shmyhal

He said this during a nationwide telethon on Ukrainian TV channels, Ukrinform reports.

“As for the sowing campaign, it has started in 21 regions of Ukraine. Almost 10% more [hectares] were sown last autumn than in the previous year, this applies to winter crops. Now sowing campaign is taking place, but we expect that sowing areas will be smaller than last year, it may be 25-30% less, depending on how combat actions will continue, where there will be mined [territories]. Nevertheless, Ukraine will be able to feed itself," Shmyhal said.

The war with Russian invaders has been going on in Ukraine since February 24.
