Евровидение 2020 отменено из-за коронавируса

Знаменитый фестиваль песни Евровидение - самое популярное ежегодное культурное событие в Европе не будет проводиться в этом году из-за коронавируса.

Сообщение, опубликованное несколько минут назад на сайте фестиваля, гласит:

С глубоким сожалением объявляем об отмене Конкурса Песни Евровидение 2020 в Роттердаме.

За последние несколько недель мы изучили множество альтернативных вариантов с тем, чтобы возможно было провести Евровидение.

Однако неопределенность, вызванная распространением COVID-19 по всей Европе - и ограничения, введенные правительствами участвующих вещателей и властями Нидерландов, - означает, что Европейский вещательный союз (EBU) принял трудное решение не проводить это мероприятие. В основе этого решения лежит здоровье артистов, сотрудников, поклонников и посетителей, а также ситуация в Нидерландах, Европе и мире.

Мы очень гордимся тем, что Конкурс Песни Евровидение объединяет множество аудитории каждый год без перерыва в течение последних 64 лет, и мы, как и миллионы вас во всем мире, крайне опечалены тем, что оно не состоится в мае.

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.
