3000 военнослужащих НАТО принимают участие в военных учениях в Грузии

Многонациональные военные учения с кодовым названием Agile Spirit 2019 стартовали в западной Грузии в субботу (26 июля).

По данным Министерства обороны Грузии, совместные учения, которые продлятся до 9 августа, проводятся под руководством Западного командования Сил обороны Грузии и Европейского командования США в трех местах на огневых полигонах Сенаки, Орполо и Вазиани.

Учения будут включать командные, штабные и полевые учения с боевой стрельбой, с использованием элементов маневра и боевой поддержки в оборонительных и наступательных операциях.

В Agile Spirit 2019 участвуют более 3000 военнослужащих из 14 стран-членов и партнеров НАТО, включая военнослужащих из Болгарии, Бельгии, Грузии, Греции, Латвии, Литвы, Черногории, Норвегии, Польши, Румынии, Турции и Украины, Великобритании и США. Самый большой контингент, состоящий из 1500 человек, представили Соединенные Штаты.

Agile Spirit 2019 нацелен на повышение функциональной совместимости, обучение и улучшение эксплуатационных возможностей участников учений во время планирования и выполнения операций в реальном времени в многонациональной среде, говорится в заявлении министерства.

EU leaders call on Trump to include Ukraine in summit with Putin

European Union leaders have appealed to U.S. President Donald Trump to defend their security interests at a summit with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on Friday 15 August over the war in Ukraine. EU leaders are doing their best to exert some influence over the summit that they have been sidelined from. It remains unclear whether even Ukraine will take part but EU leaders underlined that “the path to peace in Ukraine cannot be decided without Ukraine.” According to AP, Trump has said that he wants to see whether Putin is serious about ending the war now in its fourth year. In a statement on Tuesday 12 August, EU leaders said that they “welcome the efforts of President Trump towards ending Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine.” The European Union will make a fresh attempt to rally Trump to Ukraine’s cause on Wednesday at virtual meetings convened by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. Trump did not confirm whether he would take part, but he stated: “I’m going to get everybody’s ideas” before meeting with Putin.
