Putin's daughters, sanctioned by US, hidden from public eye

14 Sept 01:55 Key points summarised by AI

The US sanctioned Russian President Vladimir Putin’s daughters, Katerina Tikhonova and Maria Vorontsova, citing their roles in supporting Russia's defense industry and state-funded research, and believing they conceal their father's assets.
Despite extreme Kremlin secrecy surrounding Putin's family, Tikhonova is identified as a tech executive and professional acrobatic rock and roll dancer, while Vorontsova leads significant state-funded genetics research programs.
Putin consistently maintains strict privacy regarding his daughters, rarely acknowledging them publicly due to 'security concerns,' though he has expressed pride in their education and work while denying their involvement in business or politics.

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.
