С новогодней елкой грузины надеются на отдых от политики в праздничные дни

На площади Республики, в Тбилиси, зажжены огни на Рождественской елке. В Грузии официально начался праздничный сезон.

Мэр Тбилиси Каха Каладзе вместе с премьер-министром Мамукой Бахтадзе в субботу вечером (22 декабря) зажгли огни. Начиная со вторника, на площади вокруг елки будет работать Рождественский рынок в европейском стиле.

Многие грузины надеются, что дух Рождества даст передышку от сложной и неприятной политической атмосферы, которая в течение нескольких месяцев висела над Грузией, когда страна боролась за избрание своего президента, и этот процесс затянулся на недели, поскольку было необходимо проведение второго тура. В то время как грузины за последние три десятилетия закалились от политических интриг, в результате бешеных обменов между правительством и оппозицией в последние недели у многих осталось дурное послевкусие.

Конец года - это всегда хорошее время для подведения итогов, и грузины надеются, что их политики извлекут уроки из 2018 года, которых они не станут повторять в 2019 году.

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.
