Ukraine pleads for help as Russian missiles pound Kyiv

13 Sept 13:39 Key points summarised by AI

Russian forces are intensifying their assault on Kyiv, with missiles striking the capital and Ukrainian authorities preparing for an imminent attempt to overthrow the government.
President Zelenskiy declared himself Russia's primary target but vowed to remain in Kyiv, as Ukrainian troops bravely defend against outnumbered odds across multiple fronts.
The invasion has triggered a humanitarian crisis with mass evacuations, while Western allies have imposed severe sanctions, though Ukraine calls for even stronger measures like exclusion from SWIFT.
Putin's stated goals are to disarm Ukraine and remove its leadership, but the invasion has met fierce Ukrainian resistance and sparked rare anti-war protests within Russia.

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.
