Europe Today: France counts cost of violence as Ukraine hits St Petersburg, Leningrad

Valerie Gauriat, an Euronews correspondent reporting from Paris, details the destruction left behind by recent weekend protests and compares it to the war zones she typically covers. She discusses the potential final cost and the government's efforts to regain control following President Emmanuel Macron's address to the nation, vowing to catch all those responsible.

EU law expert Alberto Alemanno from HEC Paris evaluates the growing cost-of-living and housing protests across Europe, from Albania to Portugal and Italy, and speculates on their duration. Ukrainian drone attack victim, Sasha Vakulina, reports on the attack on St Petersburg, which Russian officials claim targeted an oil terminal, a data centre, and a bridge.

She speaks exclusively with EU Ambassador to Ukraine, Katarina Mathernova. Tom Fletcher, the UN aid chief, shares the grim reality faced by aid workers, who have been killed in their thousands over the past three years. Fletcher attended an EU conference on the protection of humanitarian aid workers in Brussels, as tensions rise over the financing of development, humanitarian aid, and geopolitical priorities in the EU's 2028-2034 budget.
