If true, the latest outcome of the Putin - Macron discussions is scary:
Vladimir Putin has told Emmanuel Macron that he wants to "seize the whole of Ukraine" during a call between the two presidents.
"The expectation of the president is that the worst is to come, given what President Putin told him," a senior aide to the French leader told reporters on condition of anonymity.
"There was nothing in what President Putin told us that should reassure us. He showed great determination to continue the operation," the aide continued.

Just the headline gives you an idea:
"How imposing martial law would enable Vladimir Putin to crush dissent in Russia "
But this could be helpful, from another source, if true:

I saw something heart warming this morning, t'was a clip taken at Berlin train station and volunteers were helping to pair up Ukrainian refugees with host families. 'tis nice to be reminded that amongst all the crap there still are good kind people in the world.

Yes, I think I saw that. So many tears falling around the world at the moment. At least most of the world seems to be able to come together.
Hope it's not behind a paywall, but Russian soldiers are crying too:
