Thailand abstains in UN vote condemning Russia’s “illegal referenda” in Ukraine

23 Sept 05:16 Key points summarised by AI

Thailand, along with China and India, abstained from a UN General Assembly resolution condemning Russia's "illegal annexation" of four Ukrainian regions following referenda.
The resolution, passed by a large majority (143 in favor, 5 against, 35 abstentions), demands non-recognition of Russia's claims and immediate reversal, marking Thailand's second abstention on Russia-related votes this year, though it condemned Russia's aggression in March.

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.
