Russia's powerful grain lobby has issued a stark warning: Ukrainian attacks targeting Russian vessels and Black Sea ports pose a serious threat to the nation's vital grain exports. The lobby group expressed deep concern that the ongoing drone strikes and potential disruptions to shipping routes could soon lead to a significant reduction in the volume of grain leaving the country.

This development comes at a critical time for global food security, as Russia is a major supplier of wheat and other grains to countries worldwide.
