Unseasonable Cold Snap Devastates Belarusian Crops

Unseasonably cold weather in May has caused significant damage to crops in Belarus. Hail, thunderstorms, and temperatures as low as -10 degrees Celsius have affected heat-loving crops, flowers, and fruit blossoms across the country. Farmers are using bonfires in an attempt to protect their crops, but the extent of the damage is still being assessed. "This is the worst May I've seen in 40 years," said Natalya Nikolaevna, a farmer with seven years of experience in the industry. The Belarusian government is also monitoring the situation and is considering providing support to affected farmers. The long-term impact of the cold snap on Belarus's agricultural sector is uncertain, but the government is taking steps to mitigate the damage and support those affected.
