European foreign ministers will meet in Kyiv on May 9, 2025 – this day marks Europe Day, and Russia will celebrate the 80th anniversary of victory in World War II. This was announced by French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot on LCI, reports UNN.

Details

The heads of foreign ministries of European countries will come to Kyiv to demonstrate their solidarity with Ukraine during the full-scale Russian invasion. Barrot reminded that Putin is simultaneously planning celebrations in Moscow on the occasion of the victory in World War II.

European foreign ministers intend to meet in Kyiv on May 9. I will definitely be there. On this day, Putin is planning a big celebration in Moscow – it is a day of victory for them. For us, it will be a moment of solidarity with Ukraine.

– said the French Foreign Minister.

Addition

On May 8, European countries celebrate Victory Day over Nazi Germany in World War II. In some countries of the post-Soviet space, including Russia, the holiday is celebrated on May 9: until 2014-2015, Victory Day was celebrated in Ukraine according to Soviet traditions.

After the Russian annexation of Crimea and the beginning of hostilities in the Donbass, the name of the holiday was changed to Victory Day over Nazism in World War II in 1939-1945. At the same time, May 8 became the Day of Remembrance and Reconciliation.

After the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Victory Day over Nazism was officially moved to May 8.

Reminder

The European Union called on candidate countries to join the bloc to refrain from participating in events on May 9 in Russia, including the military parade in Moscow.

US airstrikes on port in Yemen: Dozens dead, Houthis losing revenue The US military has carried out a series of airstrikes targeting Houthi positions in the port city of Hodeidah, Yemen. According to reports from local sources, the strikes resulted in dozens of casualties and significant damage to port infrastructure. The US military command has confirmed the operation, stating that the strikes were aimed at degrading the Houthis' ability to launch attacks on international shipping in the Red Sea. "These strikes were necessary to protect our forces, defend freedom of navigation, and deter further attacks," a statement from the US Central Command said. The Houthi movement, which controls much of northern Yemen, has condemned the strikes as a violation of Yemeni sovereignty. A Houthi spokesman vowed to retaliate against the US and its allies. "These attacks will not go unanswered. We will respond in kind to defend our country and our people," the spokesman said. The port of Hodeidah is a vital entry point for humanitarian aid and commercial goods into Yemen. The strikes have raised concerns about the potential impact on the already dire humanitarian situation in the country. The United Nations has called for restraint and urged all parties to the conflict to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure. "We are deeply concerned about the escalation of violence in Yemen and the potential impact on civilians," a UN spokesperson said. "We urge all parties to adhere to international humanitarian law and take all feasible precautions to avoid civilian casualties." In addition to the military impact, the strikes are also expected to have significant economic consequences for the Houthis. The port of Hodeidah is a major source of revenue for the group, and the damage to the port infrastructure will likely disrupt their ability to generate income. This could further weaken the Houthis' position and potentially create opportunities for the internationally recognized Yemeni government to regain control of the port. The situation in Yemen remains volatile, and the recent US airstrikes have further complicated the already complex conflict. The international community is closely monitoring the situation and working to find a peaceful resolution to the crisis.
