UN approves resolution calling for Russia to leave Ukraine

13 Sept 10:21 Key points summarised by AI

The UN General Assembly overwhelmingly approved a nonbinding resolution demanding Russia immediately cease hostilities and withdraw its forces from Ukraine.
The resolution passed with 141 votes in favor, 7 against, and 32 abstentions, signaling strong global condemnation of Russia's aggression a year after the invasion.
This vote underscores the General Assembly's role as a key forum for international opinion, circumventing the Security Council's paralysis due to Russia's veto power.
While many nations, including those from the Global South, supported the resolution, a small group, including Russia and its allies, voted against it, with others abstaining due to various geopolitical considerations.

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.
