Russia says troops leaving strategic Kherson, Ukraine doubts full pullout

13 Sept 14:07 Key points summarised by AI

Moscow ordered a significant troop withdrawal from the strategic southern Ukrainian city of Kherson, marking a major setback and potential turning point in the conflict.
Ukraine reacted cautiously, noting that some Russian forces remained, were destroying bridges, and mining roads, raising doubts about a complete pullout.
Kherson, the only regional capital Russia captured, is strategically vital for controlling the land route to Crimea and the Dnipro River, with its defense becoming impossible due to Ukrainian artillery.
A top U.S. general estimated over 100,000 Russian soldiers killed or wounded, with similar casualty levels for Ukrainian forces, highlighting the immense human cost of the war.

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.
