The Dhaka Times Desk A two-day NATO summit has begun in Vilnius, Lithuania. Ukraine had a long wait to join NATO around this conference. There was also tension among the citizens of the war-torn country. However, the President of the United States, Joe Biden, has crushed this hope of Ukraine.
In an interview on July 9, Biden said that Kiev is not yet suitable to be a member of the alliance. The reason is that in order to become a member of the Western military alliance, the permission of the member countries is required. Jack Sullivan, the National Security Adviser of the White House, echoed the same tone. In an interview given to journalists on Tuesday (July 11), he said that a reform path will be created at the conference so that Ukraine can join NATO. However, it is not yet certain when exactly the country will join NATO. The whole of Ukraine is basically blown away by such comforting words of the United States. News AFP and Reuters.
This made Ukraine angry. President of the country Volodymyr Zelensky is also disappointed with this 'indefinite period' ban of the United States from joining NATO. In an immediate Twitter message, he called the schedule's "uncertainty a weakness," saying, "I will discuss this openly." Volodymyr Zelensky also condemned as "absurd" the reluctance of some NATO leaders to provide a clear timetable for joining the alliance. Zelensky will also emphasize this issue in the meeting with President Biden.
Meanwhile, NATO Secretary General Jens Stollenberg also changed his statement after understanding the US gesture. He said, 'The conference will give a positive message about Ukraine's accession to NATO. Ukraine has been trying to join the alliance since 2008. They have come a long way. Although NATO has given early indications that Ukraine will join at some point. Now Ukraine is close to NATO membership. I think it is time to reflect on the decision.'
It should be noted that just a few weeks ago, Stollenberg said that Ukraine can get membership at the upcoming NATO conference.
How to prevent dengue
Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral fever. This fever is different from other viral or bacterial fevers. However, this fever is not contagious in any way. This viral fever can occur alone or in combination with other viruses (chikungunya, yellow fever, Burma forest, flu, respiratory syncytial) and bacteria (pneumococcus).
Dengue fever is divided into two categories depending on the severity of symptoms and fever.
1. Common dengue fever
2. Dengue fever with bleeding.
In the case of common dengue fever, the following symptoms are mainly seen-
1. Sudden high fever lasting 2 to 7 days.
2. Severe headache.
3. Pain behind the eyes.
4. Along with the fever, red rash appears all over the body.
5. Severe pain in whole body as well as back pain.
6. Nausea or vomiting.
7. A rash or red bumps on the skin.
In case of dengue fever with bleeding:
1. Bleeding from nose, mouth or vomiting with high fever within 2 to 48 hours.
2. Fluid accumulation in chest or abdomen along with fever.
If any of these symptoms appear, seek medical attention immediately.
On the other hand
Wait at home for the first 3 days of fever. On the other hand, sponge the whole body with water every now and then. This will reduce the level of fever. Drink enough water and rest. After that, if the fever does not decrease or if it continues to increase after some time, consult a doctor immediately.
Things to do to prevent Dengue:
1. Try to keep the surroundings of the house as clean as possible.
2. If there are flower tubs or broken plastic bottles, can shells, tires or polythene inside the house, clean them quickly and drain the accumulated water from the flower tubs.
3. Spray or fog at least 3 times a week to kill mosquitoes.
4. You can keep mosquito repellent cream with you while going out.
5. After evening, younger and older members of the household should use mosquito nets.
6. Clean up any accumulated rain water, as this is the time when Aedes mosquitoes lay their eggs.
7. On the other hand, you can use mats along with mosquito nets to avoid mosquito infestation.
8. Since Aedes mosquitoes bite during the day, it is important to avoid sleeping with mosquito nets while sleeping during the day. Source: https://dmpnews.org
