China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi asserted the nation's stance on the Ukraine crisis aligns with the "right side of history" and the wishes of most countries, rejecting any external coercion or pressure.
This declaration followed U.S. President Joe Biden's warning to Chinese President Xi Jinping about potential "consequences" if Beijing provides material support to Russia.
President Xi urged an immediate end to the Ukraine war and called for dialogue between NATO and Moscow, while China maintains an "objective and fair" position without assigning blame to Russia.
China recognizes Ukraine's sovereignty but also emphasizes Russia's legitimate security concerns, advocating for a diplomatic solution to the conflict.

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.
