Ukraine Wants To Export

In 2021, Ukraine (known as “The Breadbasket of Europe” or “The Breadbasket of the World” exported:

Iron, steel: US$13.1 Billion (19.9% of total exports)

Cereals: $11.8 Billion (18%)

Ores, slag, ash: $7 Billion (10.7%)

Animal/vegetable fats, oils, waxes: $6.9 Billion (10.5%)

Electrical machinery, equipment: $3.2 Billion (4.8%)

Machinery including computers: $2.1 Billion (3.2%)

Oil seeds: $2.1 Billion (3.2%)

Wood: $1.9 Billion (2.9%)

Food industry waste, animal fodder: $1.7 Billion (2.6%)

Articles of iron or steel: $1.2 Billion (1.9%)

Ukraine’s top money-making shipments were for: iron ores or concentrates, sunflower-seed or safflower oil, corn, wheat and semi-finished products made from iron or non-alloy steel.

The top Importers of Ukrainian goods was: China (12.1% of the global total), Poland (7.6%), Turkey (6.1%), Russia (5.1%), Italy (4.9%), Germany (4.2%), India (3.8%), Netherlands (3.2%), Egypt (2.9%), Spain (2.5%), Hungary (2.4%) and the United States of America (2.4%).

Because of the Russian Invasion of February 24, 2022 and the constant missiles, bullets, rape, torture and other War Crimes being carried out by the Russians Ukraine hasn’t been able to export much. That has led to shortages and higher prices across: the EU, the UK, Canada, the US, etc.

Ukrainians continue to risk their lives to both defend their homes and their families from the Russians while also going out into the fields to harvest or sow or going to the Mines or the Factories.

 They want to export things to the rest of us, but they are being stopped by the Russians (example Mariupol  - which has a large port that many exports go out of - was under Russian Siege for 3 months with between 6,000 and 22,000 Civilians killed.) Now it is under Russian Occupation so anything exported from Mariupol now is stained with the blood of thousands of innocent Ukrainian Men, Women and Children.

If you are annoyed and fed-up with the huge increases and shortages of everything make sure you place the blame where it belongs: on Putin and the Russians.

Write to your local Russian Embassy or Consulate and tell them to end their Genocidal War. Below is a link (in English) where you can click on your country and city and find the website and physical address of the Russian Embassy or Consulate near you.

Also, the more weapons, humanitarian aid and support we continue to give the Ukrainians the sooner they will defeat Russia and the sooner they (the Ukrainians) will be able to export their products to us and we will stop seeing the high prices and shortages.
