## Resource

Ukraine’s farms are churning out record grain exports, yet just 700,000 people on the front lines are surviving on UN aid convoys racing through drone-scarred cities. With Russian drones now striking within a 50-kilometer “killing zone,” civilians flee in droves—many elderly or trapped, forced to endure daily threats. Shops are shuttered or unaffordable, so UN teams deliver both food and cash. Much of the grain comes from local Ukrainian farmers, even fueling school meals in metro stations. But attacks on aid convoys and warehouses are surging, and donor funding is collapsing—UN aid has dropped from over a million to 700,000 people, with a desperate $234 million needed just to keep feeding them through October.
