A new important phase is beginning in the war between Russia and Ukraine. This was reported by Zamin.uz. The parties are preparing to hold negotiations again. The third round of negotiations is planned to take place in Istanbul from July 21 to 27 at the initiative of Rustem Umerov, the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine and former Minister of Defense. This was announced by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in a statement on July 19. Zelensky emphasized the need to bring speed and efficiency to the negotiation process. He stated that all possibilities should be used to achieve a ceasefire, and Russia must stop avoiding the solution. The new round will discuss issues such as the exchange of military prisoners, the return of children, and the cessation of active military operations. Zelensky expressed his support for holding negotiations at the leadership level and emphasized that this could lead to long-term peace. He also stated his readiness for a bilateral meeting with Vladimir Putin and, if necessary, for trilateral negotiations involving Donald Trump. This indicates that Kyiv is open to negotiations on an international level. The Russian news agency TASS confirmed that the new round of negotiations was proposed by Ukraine, but the date is not yet clear. The Kremlin and the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not officially respond to Zelensky's initiative. Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated on July 18 that he supports adding dynamics to the negotiation process. Istanbul has also served as a key venue for previous negotiations. In negotiations held on May 16 and June 2, the parties were unable to reach an agreement on a complete ceasefire, but an agreement was reached on the exchange of military prisoners and bodies. According to Germany's Der Spiegel publication, the new negotiations proposed by Ukraine arose as a result of long discussions with the US. The visit of the US President's special envoy for Ukraine, Kit Kellogg, to Kyiv and Donald Trump's new threatening statements regarding Russia had an additional impact on this process. Thus, the third round to be held in Istanbul may serve not only to reduce tensions between the parties but also to open a new chapter in the global political environment. The world public is expecting significant results from this meeting. The question is whether this time the negotiations will lead to real peace or remain a dream again. Answers will be clarified in the coming days.

A 77-year-old man in Jizzakh demonstrated a model of responsibility by fully paying off his alimony debt of 11.5 million soums in cash from his pension fund. This was reported by Upl.uz. This case is particularly significant at a time when many parents are avoiding their financial obligations. The man had been regularly paying alimony to his child from a previous marriage for the past 15 years. However, he fell into debt due to a prolonged illness and a mandatory trip. When the court executors reminded him of the need to pay the debt, he immediately settled all his dues. The pensioner emphasized in his words that avoiding alimony payments is a sin. He stated that he fell into debt due to illness and that such a situation would not have arisen otherwise. He also mentioned that he wants to serve as an example for young alimony payers. The man highlighted his intention to continue paying alimony until his child turns 18. The issue of alimony payments remains a serious and pressing problem in Uzbekistan. According to Farrukh Toshpulatov, head of the press service of the enforcement bureau, there are currently over 348,000 enforcement documents related to alimony and material assistance under the supervision of bureau staff, affecting more than 400,000 children. The actions of this elderly man should serve as a wake-up call for men who are fathers and are not fulfilling their obligation to provide for their children, even when they have all the means to do so. Cases where many healthy men do not spend even a quarter of their monthly income on their children are increasingly on the rise. Therefore, fulfilling our duty to our children as parents is a responsibility for each of us.
