All day Tuesday, March 1, the threat of a Russian attack hovered over the Ukrainian capital. In the evening, the tension has not gone down, on the contrary, and the inhabitants are just wondering when it will happen.
After a dark day in Ukraine, marked by the strikes on Kharkiv and the imminent risk hanging over Kiev, we imagine that tension and fear are still rising this Tuesday evening, March 1st. “The population really fears the worst. Above all, they are waiting for the next attack announced by the Russians on the buildings and infrastructures of the secret services”explains Dorothée Olliéric, special correspondent in Kiev.
“Everyone is wondering if it will be a surgical strike or not and what time it will ‘hit’. This is how people talk to each other. Tonight it will be everyone in the shelters, even those who did not want to join them. They fear a breakthrough by the Russians of this Ukrainian defense line and scenes of guerrillas in the next days or in the next hours. It is the worst scenario “underlines finally Dorothée Olliéric.
