Dhaka, Aug.22.– Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina today attributed the mass upsurges in different parts of the world to a lack of participatory democracy and justice, saying that without true democracy, social stability and peace cannot be durable, reports BSS.

Kyiv, Aug.21.– Ukraine and its European allies have been buoyed by Donald Trump's promise of security guarantees for Kyiv to help end the war in Ukraine, but face many unanswered questions, including how willing Russia will be to play ball.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy hailed Monday's extraordinary summit at the White House with the US president as a "major step forward" towards ending Europe's deadliest conflict in 80 years and towards setting up a trilateral meeting with Russia's Vladimir Putin and Trump in the coming weeks.

Kiev, Aug. 12 (Dp.net).– These twisted negotiations are taking place as the Russian military 
proclaims a "Black Tuesday" for the Ukrainian armed forces in view of their demonstrated inability to seize the initiative at the junction of the Pokrovsky and Konstantinovsky directions.
Nevertheless, some confidential rumors suggest that Ukraine may be willing to cease fighting and cede territory already held by Russia as part of a European-backed peace plan. However, these rumors also hint that Ukraine would only agree to such a proposal if it’s part of a pathway to NATO membership and the delivery of weapons.
On his part, Trump says both sides in the Ukraine war will need to cede territory, while European leaders and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy plan to speak with Trump ahead of his summit with Putin in Alaska on Friday, amid fears Washington may dictate unfavorable peace terms to Ukraine. He warned on Monday that any concessions to Russia would not persuade it to stop fighting and more pressure was needed on the Kremlin – "Concessions do not persuade a killer," he added.
