At UN, Thailand votes to condemn Russia’s aggression in Ukraine

20 Sept 05:58 Key points summarised by AI

Thailand joined 140 countries at the UN General Assembly to formally condemn Russia’s aggression against Ukraine.
The vote was based on Thailand's commitment to UN Charter principles, including respect for sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the non-use of force, alongside deep concern for humanitarian consequences.
This decision marks an adjustment in Thailand's previous policy, which had indicated a reluctance to rush condemnation of Russia.
The resolution passed amidst intensified Russian military attacks, prompting international sanctions and a significant refugee crisis, with 1 million people fleeing Ukraine.

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.
