Putin demanded territorial concessions for ending war during Alaska summit
Moscow/Washington, Aug 16 (UNI) During the US – Russia summit in Alaska on Friday, President Donald Trump and Vladmir Putin had touched upon the much-anticipated topic of a possible land swap, as part of ending the war. The Russian President reportedly told his American counterpart that he was willing to end all hostilities in exchange for complete control of Donetsk and Luhansk, as per The Guardian. No comments on the matter have come forth, though the summit was said to have heavily leaned in Moscow's favour, implying a possible agreement on this. While neither side was able to reach a complete agreement, both leaders noted the talks to be constructive. The Kremlin has made no secret of its demands to end the war, which include Ukraine not joining the NATO, its demilitarisation and denazification, a stop to weapons exports by other nations, and the territorial concessions of the majority Russian speaking regions of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson, along with the international recognition of Crimea as being part of Russia. While majority of the Donbas region is already under Russian control, Ukraine still controls 25-30% of the area. As such, Moscow is currently engaged in a military offensive on that front, targeting Kyiv's fortifications and cutting of all supply lines. Though Putin has said that he'll stop the military advance on that front if Kyiv agrees, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has adamantly refused to cede any territories to Russia, while its European allies reaffirmed that Ukraine's borders must not be altered through force.

Police's work not limited to maintaining law and order: Yogi
Lucknow, Aug 16 (UNI) Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath today appealed to the Uttar Pradesh Police to adopt the ideals of Lord Krishna and establish peace and harmony in the society. Describing the police as the backbone of the society, the CM said that their role is not limited to maintaining law and order, but they can also make a significant contribution in promoting harmony and unity in the society. Participating in the cultural programme organised at the Reserve Police Line premises here on the auspicious occasion of Sri Krishna Janmashtami, Yogi said that the incarnation of Lord Krishna in Mathura 5,000 years ago is not only a festival, but it is a source of inspiration for police personnel and common citizens towards national duties. Describing Lord Krishna's teachings 'Karmanye Wa Vadhikaraste Ma Phaleshu Kadachana' (You have the right to perform your prescribed duty, but you are not entitled to the fruits of your actions) as the basis of national duties, he said that Baba Saheb Bhimrao Ambedkar inspired every person to do selfless work by including the duties of citizens in the Constitution. He appealed to the police to implement this teaching in their lives, so that they can bring positive change in the society. Quoting Lord Krishna's teachings 'Paritranaya Sadhunam Vinashaya Cha Dushkritam', he said that only by protecting the gentle powers and destroying the evil powers, a positive atmosphere will be created in the society. He said that empowerment of gentle powers paves the way for peace, harmony and development in the society, while evil powers give rise to anarchy and insecurity. The CM called upon the police personnel to make the ideals of Lord Krishna a part of their duties. He said that it is the responsibility of the police to completely ignore the negative forces and lead the society on the path of unity and peace. The CM appreciated the grand celebrations of Janmashtami in police stations, police lines and training centres, which reflect the unity and enthusiasm of the police family. He directed the police to consider these events as a source of inspiration and work continuously to create a positive atmosphere in the society. On this occasion, he watched the presentation of cultural programmes based on patriotism and cultural prosperity organised by Lucknow Police Commissionerate. He praised the commitment and enthusiasm of the Lucknow Police family. Yogi appealed to the police personnel to imbibe the ideals of Lord Krishna and discharge their duties with selfless work. Cabinet Minister Swatantra Dev Singh, Rajya Sabha MP Dr Dinesh Sharma, former minister and Legislative Council member Dr Mahendra Singh, Mayor Sushma Kharkwal, MLA Neeraj Bora, Principal Secretary Home Sanjay Prasad, Director General of Police Rajiv Krishna and many senior police officers were present in the function.

UER-II will contribute to 'Viksit Delhi,' reduce traffic & enhance connectivity: CM
New Delhi, Aug 16 (UNI) Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta has described the much awaited Urban Extension Road-II project as a 'historic gift' for the city, and said that its commencement will not only move the national capital closer to becoming a traffic-free city, but will also strengthen connectivity across the NCR. CM has expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the efforts and development of the national capital. Gupta along with senior officials and party leaders on Saturday visited the site for the inauguration of UER- II and its surroundings to review the preparations and issued necessary instructions ahead of its launch. She added that the corridor will play a vital role in reducing congestion, lowering vehicular pollution and thereby contributing to a cleaner and healthier environment. Gupta mentioned, 'UER-II is not just an infrastructure project; it is an investment in the future of Delhi. It will improve traffic flow, cut travel time drastically, and uplift the quality of life for lakhs of people living in Delhi and NCR.' CM also informed that the PM will formally inaugurate UER-II on Sunday and will also be part of a road show. Gupta said that the corridor will begin at National Highway-44 (Alipur), traverse through Mundka, Bakkarwala, Najafgarh and Dwarka, and terminate at National Highway-48 near Mahipalpur. Highlighting its utility, she said that one of the most significant advantages of UER-II is the reduction in travel time from Singhu Border to IGI Airport, which will now take just 40 minutes, compared to almost two hours earlier. She added that the pressure on Inner and Outer Ring Roads will be substantially reduced, while major junctions such as Mukarba Chowk, Madhuban Chowk, Peeragarhi Chowk, Dhaula Kuan and NH-9 will no longer face heavy congestion with UER-II's commencement. She added that the improved connectivity with the project will also expand industrial and logistics opportunities in the national capital. The route will also integrate with the Delhi-Jaipur National Highway, the KMP Expressway, the Gurugram-Rewari Highway, and the Gurugram-Sohna Highway. UNI APS GNK
