Ukrainian farmers operate under military threat near front lines

Ukrainian agricultural producers operating near active front lines continue to face severe physical risks from Russian aerial attacks and reconnaissance drones.

According to reports, local farmers who once managed international logistics and global maritime grain exports are now forced to adopt direct defense measures to secure their land and personnel. Operators near combat zones are using shotguns and personal firearms to counter incoming Russian attack drones while attempting to sustain essential harvesting operations.

The situation highlights the severe economic disruption and personal hazards impacting Ukraine's agricultural sector, where daily farming activities require constant vigilance against aerial threats.
