Ukraine decries 'immoral' stunt after Moscow says it will let civilians flee - to Russia

15 Sept 06:03 Key points summarised by AI

Russia announced new 'humanitarian corridors' for Ukrainian civilians, but these routes would lead only to Russia or its ally Belarus, a move Ukraine immediately condemned as an 'immoral stunt' designed to exploit suffering and create propaganda.
This announcement followed two days of failed ceasefires, leaving hundreds of thousands of civilians trapped in besieged cities like Mariupol without food, water, or safe passage amidst relentless bombardment.
The invasion has intensified global condemnation, displaced over 1.5 million Ukrainians, and triggered sweeping sanctions, including discussions by the U.S. and allies to ban Russian oil imports, which pushed oil prices to their highest levels since 2008.
Amid reports of Russian forces preparing to storm Kyiv and continued fighting in the south, the U.S. is documenting credible reports of deliberate attacks on civilians for potential war crimes investigations.

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.
