Quite symbolic is the fact that this year, Ukrainians celebrate two significant dates: 25th Anniversary of the Constitution of Ukraine and 30th Anniversary of the declaration of Ukrainian independence.
It is symbolic for International European University because, on the eve of these dates, one has founded the university and started its operations as an institution developing each citizen of the new world order.
To sum up, the conference showed the significance of the dialogue, scientific comprehension and educational issues for both the university community and public officials and society.
Thus, in regard to this great Ukrainian holiday, we wish us to live in the constitutional state that respects the rights and fulfils its obligations, as well as features mutual respect and equality. The state respected and appreciated on the global stage. In the state called Ukraine!

CONFERENCE, CONSTITUTION, INTERNATIONAL EUROPEAN UNIVERSITY, НАВОЛОКІНА
On June 28, 1996, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted the basic law – the first Constitution of the newest Ukrainian state.
In a difficult time for our state, as never before, we understand the importance of the fundamental law and comprehend responsibility for each step we take on the way to implementing its key principles.
The Constitution has a fundamental character, establishes the foundations of the socio-economic system of the state, the national-territorial structure, the organization and system of state power and local self-governance, defines the fundamental rights, freedoms, duties of a person and citizen, creates political and legal conditions for the formation of structures of a civil society.
The exceptional nature of the Constitution as a legal document, first of all, lies in the fact that in its best historical examples, it is not so much an act of the state as of a civil society.
International European University not only confidently opens the doors to the future, and guarantees high-quality education according to European standards, but takes an active position in the scientific world, organizing various scientific programs to highlight topical issues. For this purpose, we are holding a scientific and practical conference dedicated to the 25th anniversary of the Constitution of Ukraine.

The final planning conference for the Ukrainian-American exercises Sea Breeze-2021 ended in Odesa on May 13, the public relations service of the Command of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said.
“The purpose of the event was to finalize the plan, the format for attracting the participating states and reconnaissance of the venues,” the Ukrainian Navy said on its Facebook page.
The conference, together with Ukraine, was attended by 16 member states and partners of the North Atlantic Alliance.
“The Sea Breeze is another important step and the most important event aimed at obtaining the capabilities of the Navy to operate completely according to NATO standards. This year we are returning to a full-scale training format, in which all components are involved,” Commander of the Ukrainian Navy, Rear Admiral Oleksiy Neyizhpapa said.
This year, for the first time, representatives of Senegal and Tunisia took part in the final conference.
In general, it is planned to attract more than 30 ships, 30 aircraft in the naval and air components and more than 1,400 military personnel from various countries in the land component.
The current Sea Breeze exercise brings together a record number of participating countries, namely 27 countries will take part directly with the involvement of units, ships, aircraft and appropriate officers. Taking into account the “observers”, up to 35 countries are planning to take part in the Sea Breeze-2021 exercises.
Last year, due to quarantine restrictions, the Sea Breeze exercises were limited to only the naval phase with the involvement of aviation. All joint activities took place in the Black Sea without personnel contact.
The Sea Breeze exercises have been conducted on the territory of Ukraine since 1997 in accordance with the 1993 Memorandum between the U.S. and Ukrainian Ministries of Defense. The co-organizers of the exercises are Ukraine and the United States.
