Storks walk in front of harvesters in a wheat field in the village of Zghurivka, Ukraine, Tuesday, Aug. 9, 2022. Before the war, Ukraine was seen as the world's bread basket, exporting 4.5 million tons of agricultural produce a month through its ports. Millions of tons of grain have been stuck due to Russian blockages since February. Under a deal brokered by Turkey and the UN last month, Russia agreed not to target ships in transit, and grain ships started to leave Ukraine as hopes grow for export stability.
