The restoration work in the Greece’s Parliament Square (Syntagma) located in Greek capital city of Athens, was started in September 2021. The works were planned to be completed in March 2022 but they were delayed due to the discovery of ancient artifacts during the excavations and the construction of network infrastructure projects. Later on the restoration works that started again after the disruptions and covering Mitropoleos, Ermou and Servias streets, came to an end. The Municipality of Athens announced that Syntagma Square, which houses the Greek Parliament, the Old Royal Palace, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and many bureaucratic offices, will reopen to the public on June 15.
US President Donald Trump warned that Russia will face severe economic sanctions unless it agrees to a ceasefire in Ukraine within 50 days. “My call to Putin is clear. If a meaningful ceasefire is not reached, we will impose 100% secondary tariffs,” Trump said after meeting NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte at the White House.
Trump added that the sanctions would also target countries trading with Russia and stressed he would bypass Congress if necessary. He blamed the ongoing war on President Joe Biden’s policies and stated, “This is not my war. I’m here to end it.”
He also announced that the US would supply NATO with advanced weapons, but insisted that European countries must cover the costs. “European countries will pay,” he said, promising rapid delivery of air defense systems and munitions to Ukraine.
