6:35 a.m .: The UN believes that “the cereals agreement continues”
The United Nations estimated on Tuesday that the international agreement on the export of grain from Ukraine, which since last summer has helped to alleviate a global food crisis, should continue beyond March 18. , even if Russia has halved the duration to 60 days.
Pressed with questions about the renewal by Saturday of this “Black Sea Cereals Initiative” sealed in July and renewed in November between Russia, Ukraine, Turkey and the UN, the spokesman for Secretary General Antonio Guterres replied: “We do everything to ensure the continuity of the agreement”.
