🇺🇸🇷🇺🇨🇳🇰🇵🌍⚡️ — The world is approaching a Third World War: the number of armed conflicts has reached its highest level since the Second World War, says the FT.

According to estimates by the International Crisis Group, 65 conflicts are currently ongoing worldwide.

The war in Ukraine, the confrontation between the US and Iran, and tensions around Taiwan could escalate into a global clash. An additional threat is posed by the growing alignment between Moscow, Beijing, Tehran, and Pyongyang.

The world order is breaking down, and Putin, Xi Jinping, and Trump are increasingly viewing the world through the prism of spheres of influence. At the same time, Trump is questioning the US willingness to defend its allies.

The key question is whether Russia will dare to attack a NATO country, and China to attack Taiwan, if they are not sure about Washington’s intervention. This could determine whether a global war can be avoided.

🇫🇷⚡️ — I am addressing all the looters: we will act firmly. There will be no impunity — Macron

More from the French President's emergency address to the nation:

— Tonight, we all feel anger and shame. It is unbearable to see our cities' streets so devastated.

— Watching these images, we all asked ourselves: what is going on in their heads? How can the French do such a thing to France? Why burn and attack? How did they get to this point? Nothing justifies this; it is inexplicable, it is unforgivable.

— We must not confuse peaceful protesters with looters and rioters, because there are people who rightly believe that fuel prices are too high. This is related to the war in Iran.

— The President of France promised to address the protesters' concerns, because "hatred should not prevent them from being heard."

He did not specify what specific measures would be taken. The events in France, the speaker called simply "unacceptable."

🇺🇦🇺🇸🇷🇺⚡️ — Zelensky told Bloomberg that US President Trump is pressuring Kiev to capitulate to Russia, adding that he believes recent US actions are aimed at forcing Ukraine to make concessions.

“I believe steps have been taken to persuade Ukraine to capitulate,” Zelensky said, adding that he fears Washington is seeking to end the war earlier “at Ukraine’s expense.”

Zelensky also proposed stopping Ukrainian strikes on Russian infrastructure that produces diesel fuel and on oil refineries in exchange for additional Patriot air defense missile systems, after Trump called for an end to these attacks amid rising diesel prices.

“My latest model is this: we do not strike Russian diesel production, and you provide us with missiles for the Patriot systems to protect our facilities,” he said.

However, according to Zelensky, Washington wants Ukraine to halt the strikes without offering anything in return, and he warned that if the attacks continue, the US may “cut us off from something” ahead of the November 3 midterm elections.
