That day, Dupont-Aignan reaffirmed his desire to go “to the end” and Mélenchon validated his 500 signatures to participate in the presidential election. That day, OM qualified for the round of 16 of the Europa League Conference, Parliament adopted a law making it easier to replace the name received at birth with that of the other parent and Elizabeth II, royally covid , canceled two videoconferences. A Thursday of “not great” news on Earth. But on that day, February 24, 2022, the world also descended into blood and darkness. In the morning, Vladimir Putin ordered the Russian army to invade Ukraine.

More than a million victims later, dead and wounded coldly added up like in a PowerPoint, the war has just passed the 1000 day mark and is no longer making headlines. 1000 days, already, that the tyrant of the Kremlin does not care about sanctions and human lives as he does about his last dacha. And it is not the late green light from Joe Biden authorizing kyiv to use American long-range missiles that will make it fold.
