ЕС призывает Армению и Азербайджан прекратить их вооруженное противостояние

Верховный представитель ЕС Джозеп Боррелл в понедельник (13 июля) говорил с министрами иностранных дел двух стран, обосновав необходимость разрядки напряженности и прекращения огня.

Европейский Союз выразил обеспокоенность в связи с инцидентами на международной границе между Арменией и Азербайджаном, с применением тяжелых вооружений, что, к сожалению, привело к гибели людей.

В своем заявлении ЕС призвал обе стороны прекратить вооруженную конфронтацию, воздерживаться от действий и риторики, которые провоцируют напряженность, и принять немедленные меры для предотвращения дальнейшей эскалации. Он добавил, что в этом контексте обе стороны должны использовать свой механизм прямого общения, установленный формат во главе с сопредседателями Минской группы ОБСЕ, а также личным представителем действующего председателя ОБСЕ. Это серьезное нарушение прекращения огня подчеркивает настоятельную необходимость возобновления мониторинга ОБСЕ на местах, как только позволят условия, говорится в заявлении.

ЕС призвал стороны неукоснительно соблюдать соглашение о прекращении огня, направлять энергию и ресурсы на борьбу с пандемией коронавируса, активно участвовать в предметных переговорах под эгидой сопредседателей Минской группы ОБСЕ и готовить свое население к миру.

Тем временем в понедельник верховный представитель ЕС по иностранным делам и политике безопасности Джозеп Боррелл поговорил с министрами иностранных дел Армении и Азербайджана о необходимости разрядить напряженность и прекратить огонь. Позже он написал в Твиттере:

Разговаривал этим вечером @ZMnatsakanyan @MFAofArmenia & Elmar Mammadyarov @AzerbaijanMFA. Подчеркнута необходимость разрядить напряженность и прекратить огонь.

Непосредственное общение между двумя сторонами имеет важное значение, и возобновление участия в предметных переговорах под сопредседателями Минской группы @OSCE https://t.co/eVVPzeRE7S

Andrii Parubiy shot dead in Lviv - a "shot fired at the heart of Ukraine"

The former speaker of the Ukrainian parliament, Andriy Parubiy, has been shot dead in the Ukrainian western city of Lviv. Police received reports of the shooting in the Frankivsk district of Lviv, western Ukraine, at around midday local time on Saturday. Unconfirmed reports suggest he was shot multiple times by a gunman dressed as a courier on an e-bike. Parubiy, 54, rose to prominence during Ukraine's Euromaidan movement, which advocated for closer ties with the EU and brought down pro-Russian former President Viktor Yanukovych in 2014. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky described it as a "terrible murder" and offered his condolences. Parubiy was a pivotal figure in the Euromaidan movement, which began after the Ukrainian government refused to sign an association agreement with the EU in late 2013. He later became secretary of Ukraine's National Security and Defence Council, during a period when pro-Russian separatists began fighting in eastern Ukraine - and when Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the annexation of the Crimea peninsula. Following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Parubiy joined Ukraine's territorial defence. Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha described Parubiy as "a patriot and statesman who made an enormous contribution to the defence of Ukraine's freedom, independence and sovereignty". Sybiha added: "He was a man who rightfully belongs in the history books." Former President Petro Poroshenko said the killing of Parubiy was "a shot fired at the heart of Ukraine".
