Ukraine strikes Saint Petersburg as French protests escalate
Ukraine launched a drone attack against Saint Petersburg, targeting an oil terminal, a data center, and potentially a bridge, according to Russian authorities. This escalation occurs amid discussions regarding energy-related ceasefires.
In France, the government is assessing the damage and costs following weekend protests. President Emmanuel Macron has pledged to hold those responsible for the unrest accountable. These protests, driven by housing shortages and the high cost of living, are part of a broader wave of discontent spreading across Europe, including Italy and Portugal.
On the humanitarian front, UN official Tom Fletcher reported that over 1,000 aid workers have been killed in the past three years. Meanwhile, the European Union is debating the financing of development and humanitarian priorities within its 2028–2034 budget.
