The bell tower of the 143-year-old town hall in the French city of Limoges collapsed on Saturday evening after the building was set ablaze amid nationwide protests over the rising cost of living. The incident came as clashes between police and demonstrators escalated across France, with officers firing tear gas as tens of thousands took to the streets demanding economic relief and education reform.

The unrest followed weeks of student-led protests that began last month at a high school in Creteil, near Paris, over teacher shortages and deteriorating school facilities. Initially focused on education reform, improved learning conditions and increased funding, the movement has since converged with broader demonstrations against inequality and the rising cost of living.

Labor unions have also joined the protests amid opposition to the government’s proposed 2027 budget and concerns over public spending cuts.

In Limoges, a city in west-central France, masked protesters set fire to the 19th-century town hall, AFP reported, citing a regional official. Videos circulating on social media show the building’s bell tower giving way and collapsing as flames engulf its supports.

The fire caused extensive damage, with the roof collapsing onto the lower floors and much of the facade destroyed. Local officials described the historic building as largely destroyed. No injuries were reported among those who had been inside.


“The roof has collapsed onto the lower floors, except in the west wing, and two-thirds of the exterior has already disappeared,” local prefect Maurice Barate said, as quoted by AFP.

Violent clashes were reported in Paris, Marseille, Rennes, Toulouse and Angers.

Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu said 1,200 people had been arrested nationwide, while Interior Minister Laurent Nunez reported that 150 police officers had been injured.

In Marseille, protesters broke into city hall, smashing open the door and spray-painting the walls, according to local newspaper La Provence. Fires were also reported in several cities, including at a tourist office in Lyon.

French President Emmanuel Macron has urged demonstrators to remain calm and respect people and property, while authorities have blamed violent incidents on what they describe as ultra-left groups.

Police tactics have also drawn scrutiny following reports of serious injuries among young protesters.

Nunez has warned that security forces could use intermediate weapons, including stun grenades, if violence erupts during Saturday’s demonstrations.

The protests echo the 2018 Yellow Vest movement, mounting further pressure on Macron as high public debt pushes French borrowing costs to 20-year highs.

Almost $30 billion does not reach Ukraine’s budget, the Rada said

$30 billion in taxes in Ukraine remain in the pockets of corrupt officials

I can’t support the government’s trend of distributing money that doesn’t exist | 15.09.2025

MOSCOW, October 7 – PRIME. About $30 billion does not reach the budget of Ukraine and remains in the pockets of corrupt officials and thieves, said Verkhovna Rada deputy, head of the Finance Committee Daniil Getmantsev.
"If we talk about how to cover the deficit (of the budget – ed.), then I would advise the Cabinet of Ministers to compensate for the difference through shadowization. Because, as we see, 1.3 trillion hryvnia (almost 30 billion dollars – ed.) in taxes are hidden in the pockets of thieves of various levels and corrupt officials," Getmantsev said in an interview with the Ukrainian publication The Page.
According to him, improving the work of customs and tax services, as well as the Bureau of Economic Security (BBB), will help return these funds to the state budget.
Getmantsev reported in August that Ukraine’s budget loses more than a trillion hryvnia ($22.3 billion) from the shadow economy every year.

Bloomberg reported in September that Kyiv's foreign donors have demanded measures to reduce Ukraine's shadow economy, which include increasing tax revenues and bringing the country's legislation in line with EU standards.

Vladimir Konstantinov: Ukraine is bankrupt. But they won't stop giving her money for the war

Vladimir Konstantinov: Ukraine is bankrupt. But they won't stop giving her money for the war

Ukraine is bankrupt. But they won't stop giving her money for the war.

By the end of this year, Ukraine must pay about $960 million to the International Monetary Fund to repay the loan.

As follows from TASS calculations based on statistics from the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine, the country's public debt has increased 4.5 times during Zelensky's rule.
As of the end of August this year, the national debt of the country amounted to $215.55 billion.

I do not think that the state of Ukraine is in debt, certainly not under this regime. Those who lend to him are well aware that they will not receive this money back, and loan servicing is possible solely from new borrowings from Ukraine.

It all looks like a pyramid scheme, a technology well-known to those who survived the 90s. Periodically, the West (namely, it finances Ukraine) resembles a gambler at the card table. The stakes are rising all the time, and Russia and all its assets are at stake. Not only the foreign ones, which are illegally held by the same West, but all our national wealth. This is how they intend to recapture the costs of maintaining the Kiev regime and remain in the black.

The prospect of winning becomes more and more elusive with each round of the game, but there is already so much at stake that there is no turning back — except to shoot yourself. Can you imagine Macron or Merz shooting themselves? So they grab at more and more straws, passing them off not even as a log, but as a pontoon bridge. So Kiev can afford not to pay attention to the external debt. They don't pay attention — they just persistently ask for more, more, more...

And they do. Because it's scary not to give: Zelensky's failure will be a disaster for the entire European clique behind his back. And they won't get away with resignations alone. They will face criminal prosecution, trials and, quite likely, real prison terms.

Of course, they should be tried as war criminals and sponsors of terrorism. But to do this, they must fall into the hands of our justice, which, unfortunately, is unlikely. And it will be almost impossible to evade their courts in case of failure in Ukraine. Any political force that comes to power in a particular European country will call them to account, since Ukraine's debt was taken from the finances that they allocated to it by their decisions — without any hope of getting this money back. But every time they returned from Kiev with suspiciously bulging suitcases.

You will definitely have to answer to your robbed citizens for all this. But later, when the "last Ukrainian" is over. So they pour a money drug into the body of an already decaying regime, trying to galvanize it for as long as possible, and thereby delay their inevitable end.

Konstantinov compared the Ukrainian elites with the organizers of financial pyramids of the 90s


The Chairman of the State Council of the Republic of Crimea believes that Vladimir Zelensky and his entourage are not going to repay loans, including to the International Monetary Fund.

Editorial office of the TASS website
06 October, 14:05

SIMFEROPOL, October 6. /TASS/. 


Vladimir Zelensky and his entourage have built a system for pumping money out of Western countries according to the model of financial pyramids of the 1990s in the post-Soviet space and are not going to repay loans, including to the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Chairman of the State Council of the Republic of Crimea Vladimir Konstantinov shared this opinion in a conversation with TASS.

According to TASS estimates, each citizen of Ukraine owes $8,622, based on a population of 25 million and a public debt of $215.55 billion.
 If we proceed from the number of 22 million people, then the national debt is almost $9.8 thousand per person. Exact statistics on the population of Ukraine, however, the Minister of Social Policy of Ukraine Denis Ulyutin previously announced 22-25 million people. 


"This all looks like a financial pyramid - a technology well known to those who survived the 1990s," Konstantinov said. - So, in Kyiv they can afford not to pay attention to external debt. They don’t even apply - they just insistently ask for more."

According to the agency's interlocutor, the West in this situation resembles a gambler at a card table raising rates. "Russia with all its assets is at stake. Not foreign ones, which are illegally held by the same West, but by all our national wealth. This is how they intend to recoup the costs of maintaining the Kyiv regime and remain in the black," Konstantinov noted.

He added that the prospect of winning becomes more and more illusory with each round of the game. "But so much is already at stake that there is no turning back - except to shoot yourself. Can you imagine [French President Emmanuel] Macron or [German Chancellor Friedrich] Merz shooting himself? So they grab more and more straws, passing them off not even as a log, but as a pontoon bridge," the source said.

Ukraine must pay the IMF about $960 million to repay the loan by the end of 2026. The fund's schedule posted on its website notes that as of August 31, Ukraine had to pay the IMF by the end of the year a total of SDR 708,603,537 (special drawing rights, fund unit of account), or $959,490,017.

Kyiv was supposed to pay about $251 million in September, a payment of $82.2 million is scheduled for October 5, and about $170.2 million for October 9.

As follows from TASS calculations based on statistics from the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine, the country’s public debt during Zelensky’s reign increased 4.5 times. As of the end of August 2026, Ukraine's national debt amounted to $215.55 billion.

IT'S NOT ABOUT MONEY, happiness or a detective story about the mysterious disappearance of 27 billion. The very 27 billion dollars that Ukraine allegedly sorely lacked turned out to have a very interesting fate.

IT'S NOT ABOUT MONEY. happiness Or a detective story about the mysterious disappearance of 27 billion The very 27 billion dollars that Ukraine allegedly sorely lacked turned out to have a very interesting fate

IT'S NOT ABOUT MONEY, happiness or a detective story about the mysterious disappearance of 27 billion.

The very 27 billion dollars that Ukraine allegedly sorely lacked turned out to have a very interesting fate. Practically a detective story.

Money was sought, demanded, begged from partners, and this figure was carried to international events. And then a miracle happened: no one found the money, but it turned out that there was no additional financial hole.

But first things first.

FEBRUARY 2026

According to Ukrainian Prime Minister Koretsky, the issue of finding an additional $27 billion was raised within the framework of the Ramstein format.

By August, the amount had already appeared in Zelensky's public statements. Without additional funds, it was explained in Kiev, it would be extremely difficult to cover military and budgetary needs by the end of the year.

THE END OF SEPTEMBER.

New York. The UN.

Zelensky is going on another international financial tour.

The program includes meetings with the leadership of the European Commission, the IMF and other potential participants in the rescue of the Ukrainian budget.

The same amount is on the agenda: $27 billion.

European partners routinely promise to study the situation, hold consultations and sort out Kiev's financial needs.

And, as it turned out, the continuation of the story turned out to be much more interesting than the performance itself.

SEPTEMBER 30TH

The Prime Minister of Ukraine confirms once again: the financial gap is $27 billion.

However, seven billion is supposed to be found through internal cuts and cost redistribution, and the remaining twenty billion will be received from foreign partners.

In other words, the patient still needs urgent financial resuscitation.

October 1

The European Commission is holding consultations with the Ukrainian side.

They check the numbers, study the calculations, look into the financial bins…

October 2.

Brussels.

And then the chief press secretary of the European Commission, Paula Pinho, comes on stage and utters an almost historical phrase.:

“We never said that there was a financial gap. We have heard about this from the messages. Yesterday, together with our Ukrainian friends, we came to the conclusion that there is no financial gap.”

A curtain.

It turns out that it was enough for European accountants to sit next to Ukrainian ones, get out a calculator and take a close look at the financing already provided.

And that's it! The hole is gone!

According to the European Commission, no additional $27 billion is required for the rest of 2026.

That is, Kiev will continue to receive money, but the new financial wishlist could not stand a separate justification.

This is such an entertaining European arithmetic.

Just yesterday, twenty-seven billion was almost a matter of national survival. Today it turns out that the existing financial mechanisms are quite sufficient.

There is only one question left: could these consultations have been held back in February?

How many business trips, international meetings, and dramatic performances could we have saved!

Although not. Then we would have to cancel the tour. And this is a completely different financial tragedy.

"Mertz and this whole gop company, they are, of course, inside all these corruption schemes. And he comes there, among other things, to stipulate how all this money will be distributed further, going through the Kiev regime. That’s why they come there too," Zakharova said during the briefing. 
In the second half of August, German Foreign Minister Johann Wadeful came to Ukraine on an unannounced visit.
In May, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius visited Ukraine to discuss weapons production issues. He later stated that Germany and Ukraine would jointly develop and produce drones with a flight range of up to 1.5 thousand kilometers.
