This measure will take into account men who are enrolled in compulsory military service and the army reserves. It will be valid for at least 90 days throughout the Ukrainian territory.

Since the Russian military operation on Ukrainian soil, 137 people have died, during the first day of the attack, as reported by Volodimir Zelesnki, President of Ukraine.

Labeling them heroes and in a video posted on the government's official website, Zelensky confirmed that citizens died defending Ukraine, adding that 316 people were injured in the clashes.

Protests around the world against Putin

Hundreds of thousands of people have taken to the streets in cities such as New York, Berlin, Madrid, Warsaw, Paris, The Hague and even Saint Petersburg to demand that Putin stop the war that he unleashed with the attack on Ukraine that has a balance of more than 100 casualties and more than 100,000 people displaced.

In Russia, just over 2,000 people were arrested in different cities for protesting against the war in Ukraine.

Human rights organizations have assured that 1,391 people were detained in 51 Russian cities and 719 in the capital, Moscow.

In Russia there is harsh legislation to control protests that usually end with a high number of arrests.

In New York, approximately 200 people marched from Times Square to the UN headquarters in a show of concern for their relatives in Ukraine.

Dialogue between Macron and Putin

From Moscow they have affirmed that this Thursday Putin and Macron held a telephone meeting, where they had a "frank and serious" dialogue on the grounds of the Russian attack on Ukraine.

In the statement, Russia affirms that Putin gave an extensive explanation of the reasons for his decisions to carry out a "special military operation" on Ukrainian territory, both leaders agreed to continue contacts in the coming days.

Emmanuel Macron has been the first NATO member president to dialogue with Putin, after a unilateral condemnation by almost the entire international community of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
