NEW YORK, May 26 (Xinhua) — The United Nations continues to promote Russian food and fertilizer exports under a side agreement to the Black Sea Grains Initiative, which enables the export grain and other Ukrainian agricultural products from Black Sea ports, Stéphane Dujarric, spokesman for United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, said on Friday.
Secretary-General of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, Rebeca Grynspan, and her team continue to “work at full speed” to ensure the full implementation of the Memorandum of Understanding on Russian exports of food and of Russian fertilizers, he assured.
The United Nations is working with the African Export-Import Bank to create a financing platform that enables efficient transactions between Russian exporters and African buyers, Dujarric said.
If Rosselkhozbank does not return to the SWIFT system and no progress is made on other systemic issues that are impeding Russia’s agricultural exports, the Black Sea Grains Initiative will also have to find alternatives, it said on Thursday. the Russian Foreign Ministry in a statement.
“Obviously the reinstatement of Russian banks involved in the fertilizer and food trade, which are not subject to sanctions, would facilitate the implementation. But as you know, this is not a decision of the the purview of the United Nations,” noted the UN spokesperson.
“We are trying to push things forward in different ways, but always with the same goal: to provide as much food and fertilizer as possible to those who desperately need it,” he said.
The Black Sea Grain Initiative was signed separately by Russia and Ukraine with Turkey and the UN on July 22, 2022 in Istanbul. Initially concluded for 120 days, the agreement was extended in mid-November 2022 for an additional 120 days, until March 18. On that day, Russia only agreed to extend it for 60 days, i.e. until May 18. On May 17, she agreed to a further 60-day extension. END

A fact that is quite clear is that nothing in the Universe is still, everything is in constant motion, and, above all, it is expanding more and more at an incredible speed.
Everyone, since we were little, was taught that the Earth, and the rest of the planets, revolve around the Sun, which is why, since we were children, we know that at least our Planet was not still. But it was not until a few years ago that it was discovered that EVERYTHING was in constant motion, even the Sun.
We are wandering through the vast and dark space, exposed to all kinds of dangers that we cannot imagine, and some others that we already know thanks to Science. Although at first glance not all of us find it worrying, this may interest you, and we are walking through the Universe, but we don’t know exactly where we are going, and above all what is attracting our galaxy
The Great Attractor
Have you heard of the Great Attractor? If yes, stay because this is going to interest you a lot, and if you had never heard this term, here we explain what it is regarding, this will become very interesting.
Our galaxy is called “Milky Way”, it is a barred spiral galaxy, and in this is the Solar System, the same one that has the Earth, and therefore, us. Another amazing fact is that it is part of a group known as the Local Group, and of all the galaxies that are within this term, the Milky Way is the second brightest and largest, only behind the famous Andromeda galaxy.
In case you didn’t know, Andromeda, also known as Messier 31, according to the prestigious scientific journal Nature, will collide with our galaxy. It is a certain event, but it is not yet known for sure when it will occur.
Every time you know this, we tell you that there is a place in space that has been called “Great Attractor” its simple name makes your hair stand on end, because it does not sound very pleasant.
scientific magazine National Geographicdescribes the Great Attractor as< una región con una fuerza espeluznante, que atrae cuerpos a 600 kilómetros por segundo >>.
Nothing would escape the clutches of this place, here is the graveyard of many stars, comets, and even planets. This large anomaly is located in the Laniakea supercluster, which in turn contains the Virgo supercluster, right where our galaxy is located.
But as we mentioned above, nothing in the Universe is still, everything is in motion and constant growth, therefore, the Great Attractor, no matter how monstrous it may be, cannot escape being in motion, since it is directed towards the Supercluster considered the largest in the Universe (Shapley).
According to Universe Todaythis anomaly is not so big as to have such an attraction, since both our galaxy and many others are going towards this Great Attractor, at amazing speed, as if it were a magnet.
It is not yet known what it is that leads galaxies to have an end here, however, scientists will not stop until they find the truth.
Share science, share knowledge.
