On Beijing visit, Russian prime minister says pressure from West is strengthening ties with China

13 Sept 05:08 Key points summarised by AI

Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin stated that Western pressure is significantly strengthening Russia's ties with China during his visit to Beijing.
Russia is increasingly seeking diplomatic and economic support from China amidst growing international isolation over its invasion of Ukraine.
Mishustin highlighted the 'unprecedented high level' of relations, attributing this to 'increased turbulence in the international arena and the pattern of sensational pressure from the collective West,' rather than the ongoing conflict.
China, while asserting neutrality in the Ukraine conflict, has blamed the West for provoking Moscow and continues to maintain strong diplomatic and trade relations with Russia, opposing sanctions.
The visit underscored Russia's crucial role as a provider of oil and gas to China, reinforcing their deep economic and historical bonds.

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.
