Russians scoff at Western fears of Ukraine invasion

13 Sept 11:09 Key points summarised by AI

Moscow residents and pundits largely dismiss U.S. warnings of an imminent Ukraine invasion, viewing them as "hysteria" and "madness" orchestrated by Washington to stoke panic.
Russian officials vehemently deny any plans to attack Ukraine, asserting Moscow's right to deploy troops on its own territory and mocking Western "paranoid" concerns.
Opinion polls indicate most Russians hold the U.S. responsible for the current standoff, aligning with the Kremlin's narrative that an invasion would be too costly for Russia, leading to isolation and economic disaster.
Russian analysts predict that instead of a full-scale invasion, Putin will likely maintain military pressure and drills to keep Ukraine out of NATO and compel diplomatic concessions from the West.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
