Ukraine's president vows to stay put as Russian invaders approach
23 Sept 05:51Key points summarised by AI
Ukrainian President Zelenskiy pledged to remain in Kyiv, despite identifying himself and his family as primary targets for advancing Russian forces aiming to topple the government.
Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine by land, air, and sea, leading to significant casualties and the seizure of strategic sites like the Chernobyl power plant.
The international community responded with widespread condemnation and severe sanctions against Moscow from Western nations, although China has maintained a more neutral stance.
This major European conflict, the largest since World War Two, has escalated global concerns over economic stability and the potential for wider regional destabilization.
Macron condemns those who 'sought to bring down the Republic' after rioting mars nationwide protests
Yesterday 12:56Key points summarised by AI
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.
