U.N. General Assembly set to censure Russia over Ukraine invasion

15 Sept 04:13 Key points summarised by AI

The U.N. General Assembly prepares to formally reprimand Russia for its invasion of Ukraine, demanding an immediate and unconditional withdrawal of forces.
The draft resolution, similar to one vetoed by Russia in the Security Council, is expected to pass with strong support, as no country holds veto power in the General Assembly.
Though non-binding, the resolution carries significant political weight, aiming to diplomatically isolate Russia on the world stage.
Many nations have co-sponsored the resolution, while some, like China and India, are expected to abstain, seeking to maintain diplomatic channels.

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.
