मन्त्रिपरिषद् पुनर्गठनको तयारीमा प्रधानमन्त्री एमाले बाहिरिएपछि कांग्रेस, जसपा, एकीकृत समाजवादी, लोसपा, नागरिक उन्मुक्ति सरकारमा जाने .......... प्रचण्ड नेतृत्वको सरकारमा हाल माओवादी र जनमत पार्टी मात्रै छन् । कांगेस, एकीकृत समाजवादी, जसपा, लोसपा, नागरिक उन्मुक्ति पार्टी सरकारमा जाने तयारीमा छन् । ........ अब हुने मन्त्रिपरिषद् विस्तारमार्फत जनता समाजवादी पार्टी, नागरिक उन्मुक्ति पार्टी र लोसपा सरकारमा जान तयार देखिएका हुन् । राष्ट्रिय स्वतन्त्र पार्टी भने अझै ‘पर्ख र हेर’को नीतिमा छ । ........ जसपाका नेताका अनुसार आठदलीय गठबन्धनमा जसपालाई तीन मन्त्रालय दिने सहमति भएको छ । ‘यसअघि हाम्रो मूल बटमलाइन नै उपराष्ट्रपति पद र तीन मन्त्रालय पाउनुपर्छ भन्ने थियो,’ ती नेताले भने, ‘तर, त्यसमा सहमति हुन सकेको थिएन । अहिले दुवै मागमा लगभग सहमति भइसकेको छ । त्यसकारण, सरकारमा जाने वातावरण बनेको हो ।’ ....... गणतन्त्र, संघीयता र व्यवस्थाविरोधी दलहरू बाहिरिएका छन् । परिस्थिति फरक बनेको छ । त्यसैले हाम्रो मागको सुनिश्चितता भयो भने हामी सरकारमा जान सक्छौँ ।’ ....... ‘हामी त पहिलेदेखि चुनावअघिको पुरानै गठबन्धन थियौँ,’ उनले भने, ‘यसमा माओवादी फर्कियो, जसपा, जनमत र नागरिक उन्मुक्ति पार्टी थपिए । अब हुने पदीय भागबन्डा र मन्त्रिपरिषद् विस्तार सबैमा हाम्रो हिस्सेदारी रहन्छ ।’ बालुवाटार स्रोतका अनुसार नागरिक उन्मुक्ति र लोसपा दुवै दललाई एक–एक मन्त्रालय दिने तयारी छ । .



A view from Crimea, the Russian-annexed territory Ukraine is hoping to seize back NBC News spoke to residents during a visit this week to the peninsula that could soon be back in the center of the conflict between Moscow and Kyiv. ........ “This is our land,” she said Monday. “We will all put on uniforms and will go to the border to defend ourselves.”Her comments echoed those of most people NBC News spoke to in Crimea this week. While the government of President Vladimir Putin has cracked down on free speech everywhere, including in Crimea, the peninsula’s majority Russian-speaking population was considered more pro-Moscow than in other parts of Ukraine when it was annexed. ....... Sevastopol — home to the Black Sea Fleet in Soviet times and the era of the Russian empire — might be the king on Putin’s chess board: The Russian leader may be determined to protect it at any cost, but Kyiv may now fear any peace deal that left Russia’s navy in the port would threaten its coastline for years to come. .......... NBC News traveled to Crimea by train from Moscow, across the Kerch Bridge that was blown up in a strategic and symbolic blow to Putin last fall. It is now fully restored but would likely be targeted again if the fight came to this peninsula. .......... he Kremlin’s stance that Crimea represents a red line......... “All mothers are crying. Both Russian and Ukrainian mothers are crying,” she said. “Why did it even start? Can’t we all live in peace? Can’t we just share this piece of bread in two halves?” .......... Zelenskyy has said the war that started here will end here, a prospect that — for residents of the peninsula and the rest of this war-torn region — may mean that an end to the bloodshed is a long way off. .



Breaking with EU, Hungary’s leader backs China’s peace proposal for Ukraine war ‘We consider China’s peace plan important, and we support it,’ Prime Minister Viktor Orban says ....... Most European Union leaders have criticised the 12-point proposal, contending that it takes Russia’s side ....... Orban warned that “the whole of Europe is slipping into the war, step by step”. ....... “We need a ceasefire and the start of peace talks; Hungary calls for peace in all international forums; I see that most states support peace and Hungary cannot isolate itself from most of the world. ......... China’s 12-point position paper, released on Friday to mark the first anniversary of Russia’s invasion, calls for an immediate ceasefire, opposes the use of sanctions and nuclear weapons, and calls on all parties to stop “fanning the flames” of the war. ......... Orban, who is considered Beijing’s closest ally in Europe, warned that with many other EU member nations now considering sending fighter jets to Ukraine, troops may follow. ........

EU leaders have criticised China’s paper, saying that it takes Russia’s side.

......... “China introduced its ‘position paper’ on a political settlement. It is not really a peace plan and mostly reiterates well-known Chinese positions – some of which we share while important ones are missing,” EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell wrote in a blog post on Sunday. ............ European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said last week that the bloc would assess the paper, “but it is already clear that the key problem is that it does not really distinguish aggressor from the victim, putting the parties at an equal level”. .......... China’s proposal was also rejected by the United States and Nato. But Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky cautiously welcomed it, reiterating a desire to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping. .......... Russian spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the proposal deserves “great attention”, but added that Moscow saw “no preconditions at present” for the conflict to shift tack

and will continue its assault.
