Liberation

crosses its front page with the word "freedom" written in Ukrainian.

The newspaper opens its pages to NV, a Ukrainian media founded in 2014 after the revolution in Maidan Square, which continues to inform despite the Russian invasion.

On its website,

NV

deals in particular with the fire that occurred overnight from Thursday to Friday in the largest nuclear power plant in Europe.

From Moscow,

Kommersant

observes that several foreign media have become difficult to access in Russia. 

The Guardian

is worried in one, because "Putin raises fears that the worst is yet to come in Ukraine".

The Daily Mail

wonders: "Who will rid the world of this madman?" 

The Daily Mirror

points out that during this time, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky asks to speak with Vladimir Putin ("talk to me") saying "there is no other way to stop the war."

It is in this context of extreme international tensions that Emmanuel Macron formalized that he was a candidate for a second term as head of state.

A letter published in several regional press newspapers such as

Midi Libre

which titles: "Macron, season 2".

For

L'Opinion

, "between virus and war, Macron finally declares himself".

And then, almost anonymously, the Paralympic Games begin in Beijing.

The China Daily

naturally echoes this.
