С Днем Европы

Сегодня День Европы, отмечаемый Европейским Союзом и его государствами-членами.

День Европы, который отмечают 9 мая каждого года, празднует мир и единство в Европе. Дата отмечает годовщину исторической «декларации Шумана». В своей речи в Париже в 1950 году Роберт Шуман, тогдашний министр иностранных дел Франции, изложил свою идею новой формы политического сотрудничества в Европе, которая сделала бы войну между нациями Европы немыслимой.

Его целью было создание европейского института, который бы объединял и управлял производством угля и стали. Договор о создании такого органа был подписан чуть менее года спустя. Предложение Шумана считается началом того, что сейчас является Европейским союзом.

Обычно, чтобы отметить День Европы, институты ЕС открывают свои двери для публики в начале мая в Брюсселе и Страсбурге. Местные офисы ЕС в Европе и во всем мире организуют различные мероприятия. В этом году из-за коронавируса большинство мероприятий проводится виртуально с использованием новых средств массовой информации.

Президент Европейского Совета Чарльз Мишель написал в Твиттере: «В День Европы давайте никогда не забывать, что Европа - это ВЫ. Это МЫ, это все мы ВМЕСТЕ, ЕДИНСТВО - это то, что делает нас сильнее. Не забывайте этого!»

Мы желаем всем нашим читателям счастливого Дня Европы.

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.
