NASA: Russia harvests Ukrainian wheat
According to the US space agency NASA, Russia this year harvested wheat worth about a billion dollars (about 950 million euros) from Ukrainian fields. About 5.8 million tonnes of wheat were harvested from fields in Ukraine that are not under the country’s control, said NASA Harvest, the US space agency’s food security and agriculture program.
For the survey, NASA Harvest uses satellite data and modeling in conjunction with several partner institutions. Scientists involved in the research project estimate that a total of around 26.6 million tons were harvested in Ukraine this year, which is significantly more than previously predicted. Although it is lower than the previous year’s record harvest of 33 million tons, it is close to the average.

US intelligence sees continued slowdown in combat activity
The US intelligence service assumes that the slowdown in fighting in Ukraine will continue. “We’re already seeing something of a slowdown in the pace of conflict and we expect that to continue in the coming months,” said Avril Haines, director of national intelligence.
Both countries would try to stockpile overnight supplies in preparation for a post-winter counter-offensive. Despite Russian attacks on the Ukrainian power grid and other civilian facilities, there are no signs of a waning of Ukraine’s will to resist.
