US President Trump asserted that a deal to end the Russia-Ukraine war is "closer than ever" following recent discussions with Ukrainian President Zelensky and a phone call with Russian President Putin.
Despite Trump's optimism, he conceded that the critical issue of territorial disputes remains unresolved, with Russia demanding concessions and the US proposing a plan to stop the war at current frontlines.
Ukrainian President Zelensky expressed openness to the revised US peace framework, stating it was "90 percent agreed" along with "100 percent agreed" US-Ukraine security guarantees, while Russia showed no signs of compromise, insisting on Kyiv's withdrawal from Donbas and threatening further military action.

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.
