Russian troops have captured about 22% of the agricultural land in Ukraine.

 According to NASA Harvest satellite images, Russian forces today control about 22% of Ukraine’s agricultural land. It is noted that winter crops are primarily grown in these territories: wheat, rye, and barley. Data from Planet Labs satellites and the European Space Agency’s Sentinel-2 mission show that 28% of winter crops and 18% of spring crops, including corn and sunflower, are under occupation. In addition, according to images from space, a portion of Ukrainian fields are no longer suitable for sowing due to damage from shells and mines.
