U.S. spends on Ukraine conflicts more than $100 million per day

13 Sept 06:10 Key points summarised by AI

The US Senate approved an additional $40 billion in aid for Ukraine, bringing total daily spending on the conflict to over $100 million.
This bipartisan package provides direct military assistance, humanitarian aid, and funding to counter Russian propaganda and cyberattacks, without deploying US troops.
Senator Rand Paul delayed the vote, raising concerns about fiscal oversight and suggesting funding should come from existing military budgets or higher taxes.
The new funding is crucial as previous aid was nearly exhausted, ensuring continued support for Ukraine's defense through at least the end of the fiscal year.

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.
