(MENAFN- UkrinForm) The state will buy out grain and other food stocks in scope of the annual consumption throughout the country at the expanse of the state budget.

'We create a food reserve. The state will buy out grain and other food stocks in scope of the annual consumption throughout the country at the expanse of the state budget. This will allow us to provide the country with sufficient foodstuffs,' Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal said in his video address, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

The government continues to expand the list of critical imports and supports the work of critical infrastructure, doing everything possible to ensure that our army and rear are provided as best as possible, he added.

'We will win. Do not doubt. And then we will rebuild a new, strong, and happy Ukraine. Our cities in the north, east, and south will flourish again. Our people will return to their new, rebuilt houses,' Shmyhal said.

On February 24, president Putin announced the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Russian troops are shelling and destroying key infrastructure, massively hitting residential areas of Ukrainian towns and villages using artillery, multiple-launch rocket system, and ballistic missiles.

Martial law was imposed in Ukraine and general mobilization was announced.
