Russian cosmonauts celebrate capture of Ukraine's Luhansk region in space

13 Sept 18:45 Key points summarised by AI

Russian cosmonauts aboard the International Space Station celebrated Russia's capture of Ukraine's eastern Luhansk region, a significant milestone for Moscow in the war.
Roscosmos, the Russian space agency, shared images of cosmonauts Oleg Artemyev, Denis Matveev, and Sergei Korsakov holding flags of the self-proclaimed Luhansk and Donetsk People's Republics.
Russia declared full control over Luhansk on July 3, 2022, after capturing its last major city, Lysychansk, while Ukraine vowed to regain lost territory and launch a counter-offensive with Western aid.
This capture marks a key success for Russia's revised war strategy, focusing on eastern Ukraine after failing to take the capital Kyiv in February.

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.
