Turkey says Russia and Ukraine nearing agreement on 'critical' issues

14 Sept 19:39 Key points summarised by AI

Turkey's foreign minister announced that Russia and Ukraine are nearing agreement on "critical" issues, expressing hope for a ceasefire if progress is maintained.
Key discussion points include Ukraine's potential NATO neutrality, demilitarization, Russia's "de-nazification" demands, and the protection of the Russian language in Ukraine.
While some progress is reported, a permanent ceasefire hinges on a meeting between Presidents Putin and Zelenskiy, which Putin believes is premature due to unresolved "strategic issues" concerning Crimea and Donbas.
Turkey, maintaining good relations with both nations, actively mediates to resolve the conflict, balancing support for Ukraine's sovereignty with its own ties to 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.
