According to him, the first million tonnes of grain have already been harvested in the region, in particular, 833,000 tonnes of wheat and 364,000 tonnes of barley have already been mowed.
“Unfortunately, there are fields from which we will not be able to harvest. More than 12,000 hectares are ‘sown’ with enemy ammunition. More than 400 hectares of crops burned down due to enemy shelling,” Reznichenko wrote.
He also added that, according to preliminary forecasts, this year’s harvest will amount to more than three million tons of grain. This volume is quite sufficient to meet the needs of citizens in the region. The farmers continue to work.
There are also many burnt wheat fields near Sivervsk, Kherson, and Mykolaiv. Shelling by the Russian occupiers does not stop.
