Европейская Комиссия выделит €24 млн. гуманитарной помощи населению на востоке Украины

Как сообщает веб-сайт Европейской службы внешних связей, 28 февраля Европейская Комиссия объявила о своем намерении выделить 24 миллиона евро для оказания гуманитарной помощи пострадавшему от конфликта населению на востоке Украины.

Новое финансирование ЕС поможет удовлетворить базовые потребности наиболее уязвимых групп населения на линии соприкосновения противодействующих сторон, в том числе в районах, не контролируемых правительством. Оно окажет помощь тем, кто сбежал из зон конфликта в соседние страны, говорится в сообщении на веб-сайте.

По этому случаю Комиссар ЕС по гуманитарной помощи и урегулированию кризисных ситуаций Христос Стилианидис заявил: «Четырехлетний конфликт лег колоссальным бременем на мирное население восточной Украины. Мы не можем оставить без внимания гуманитарный кризис на пороге Европейского Союза. Приоритет ЕС - оказывать поддержку тем, кто в ней нуждается, где бы они ни находились. Наша новая программа помощи окажет содействие в жизненно важных сферах - предоставлении продуктов питания, здравоохранения и образования для детей».

ЕС и его государства-члены являются крупнейшим донором гуманитарной помощи, скорейшего восстановления и помощи в области развития для Украины. Согласно сделанному сегодня заявлению, ЕС уже предоставил 677 миллионов евро с начала конфликта в 2014 году.

Dozens participate in new Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue process as societies prepare for the signing of historic peace agreement

The governments of Armenia and Azerbaijan have recently agreed the text of a historic peace agreement that ends years of animosity and warfare. The agreement is expected to be signed soon. LINKS Europe, which has a long history of engagement with the process of peace in the region, recently launched a new Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue format in the framework of the European Union's EU4Peace initiative. In the last two weeks dozens of Armenians and Azerbaijanis, including academics, students, civil society activists, journalists and other professionals, many of them young, were involved. The work is organised in five thematic groups focusing on peace and security, connectivity, environment, governance and gender and equality and in phase 2 of the project, which has just ended, around fifty participants took part in in-person and online meetings, and more than twenty others were involved indirectly. The Chairpersons of the five thematic groups met in Vilnius, 3-6 July to launch the third phase of the program. The five thematic groups are now working on separate reports, which are expected to be finished in November and presented to the two governments and other stakeholders. The reports will outline a vision, up to 2040.
