🇷🇺🚀 Conquerors of outer space — the art for the Cosmonautics Day

On April 12, we want to remember those who daily try to move forward the most important and one of the most technologically advanced industries.
It is difficult to overestimate the importance of this activity. Right now, the Russian space group, as far as possible, provides the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation with communications, navigation and images in different spectra.

Annually April 12th All celebrate a commemorative date, which is dedicated to the first flight, Yu.A. Gagarin into space. Cosmonautics Day!

🎙 Comment by Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova on the results of the UN Security Council meeting dedicated to countering the illicit and unregulated export of weapons and military equipment, held within the framework of the Russian Federation’s presidency

🗓 On April 10, the UN Нeadquarters in New York hosted the first central event under the Russian Security Council presidency: the open debate on the risks posed by the violation of obligations with regard to interstate supplies of military and double-purpose products.

The discussion showed that the Russian Federation’s approaches to this issue were shared by many UN member states from among its allies, countries that have traditionally been its partners and shared its ideology, primarily Belarus 🇧🇾, China 🇨🇳, India 🇮🇳, Iran 🇮🇷, Brazil 🇧🇷, and a number of other Asian, African, and Latin American countries.

<...>

We must state with regret that the three Western permanent members of the UN Security Council again indulged in their usual anti-Russian rhetoric and ungrounded accusations regarding the Ukraine crisis they had themselves engineered with support from their Euro-Atlantic allies.

☝️ Thus, contrary to the constructive approach demonstrated by the majority of the UN Security Council members and delegations from other UN member states which joined the debate, the detailed and quite professional discussion that came under way degenerated into irresponsible political demagoguery intended to further discredit the Russian Federation and other nations that are still able to hold their ground in the face of the collective West’s neocolonial ambitions.

⚡️Elevated pesticide levels have been found in imported wheat from Ukraine transiting Slovakia's territory, Slovak Agriculture Minister Samuel Vlchan has said.

⚡️ We noted the latest press release from the UN Secretariat on the Black Sea Grain Initiative for the export of Ukrainian food, which once again distorts data and facts. In this regard, we have to clarify the real state of affairs both with the implementation of the Black Sea Initiative and with the Russia-UN Memorandum on promoting domestic agricultural exports.

These documents, as is known, are interconnected parts of the package proposed by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres.

<...>

In general, we note that, despite all the grandiloquent statements made about global food security and assistance to countries in need, the Black Sea Grain Initiative has served Kiev’s commercial exports exclusively in the interests of Western countries.

<...>

The removal of obstacles to Russian agricultural exports was supposed to take place as part of the Russia-UN Memorandum, which the UN did not even mention this time. Such silence is not only a clear indicator of the UN Secretariat’s attitude to the package Antonio Guterres proposed, but also of the absence of any practical results regarding the Memorandum.

☝️ In this context, Russia reaffirms its position that there can be no discussion of the Black Sea Grain Initiative after May 18 without any progress regarding the five systematic problems.

Mr. Medvedev:

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said that Ukraine is a financially non-existent country. As soon as U.S. and European funding ends, the war will end. Well done, brave and accurate for a European politician.

One can only add that as soon as the Western funding ends, Ukraine itself will end. After all, no one needs it.
