Did you miss the news this early morning? We’ve put together a recap to help you see things more clearly.
Despite the context of the war in Ukraine, the unions will try to mobilize their troops this Thursday. The CGT, FSU, Solidaires, Unsa and high school organizations are calling for a new day of strikes and demonstrations for “the increase in salaries and pensions”. For Céline Verzeletti, confederal leader at the CGT, the international situation “does not erase the difficulties that we encounter on a daily basis, with an increasingly low purchasing power in the face of inflation”. In Paris, the procession will set off at 2 p.m. from Place de la République.
Mariupol sinks deeper into horror every day. Ukrainian authorities said Russia on Wednesday destroyed a theater in which more than a thousand people had taken refuge in the besieged city. The human toll remains undetermined at this stage. “The invaders destroyed the Dramatic Theater. A place where more than a thousand people had taken refuge. We will never forgive this, ”said the municipality on Telegram messaging. The Russian Ministry of Defense for its part denied having bombed the theater, blaming the explosion on the account of the Ukrainian nationalist battalion Azov.

Beaten at home (1-2) on Wednesday by Chelsea in the knockout stages of the Champions League, the northern club was logically eliminated from the competition after their defeat in the first leg (2-0).
