Ukraine strikes more oil facilities deep inside Russia, Zelenskyy says

22 Sept 13:00 Key points summarised by AI

Ukraine, led by President Zelenskyy, escalated its deep strikes on Russian oil facilities, hitting refineries over 1,300 km from the front lines, aiming to undermine Moscow's wartime economy and pressure the Kremlin.
These Ukrainian attacks, which also targeted Russian military patrol boats and 'shadow fleet' vessels, are causing fuel shortages and rattling Russians, demonstrating Kyiv's expanding offensive capabilities.
Despite its offensive actions, Ukraine faces critical shortages in air defense against relentless Russian aerial attacks, prompting Zelenskyy to accelerate domestic ballistic missile development and urgently appeal to allies for more interceptor missiles.
The conflict continues to exact a heavy civilian toll, with a significant increase in casualties in Ukraine due to intensified Russian long-range attacks, drawing condemnation from the UN Secretary-General for escalating strikes by both sides.

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.
