President Vladimir Putin publicly defended Russia's assault on Ukraine for the first time since forces withdrew from northern Ukraine, asserting its "noble" aims would be achieved.
Putin stated the operation's goals are to protect Russian-speaking people in Donbas and to counter anti-Russian nationalistic sentiment in Ukraine.
During a visit to a space base, Putin drew an analogy between Soviet space achievements and Russia's current defiance of Western economic sanctions, dismissing the possibility of severe isolation.
Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko, accompanying Putin, also downplayed the impact of international sanctions on 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.
