Message by Martin Griffiths, Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), on the impact of the war and mine crisis in Ukraine.

Ukraine's vast agricultural land faces extensive contamination, threating its economy sustainability and raising concerns of a food crisis by disrupting the food supply chain.  Ukraine is now among the most heavily mine-contaminated countries globally, with an estimated one-third of its territory suspected to have some form of contamination. The ongoing war has damaged Ukraine's agriculture and food production, increasing production costs.
