Nearly three million people have moved to flee the bombings and fighting that have been going on since February 24 in Ukraine. Among them, 1.4 million children according to Unicef. How are they received in neighboring countries and in France? We talk about it with Jeanne Berger, head of the “Emergencies” program within the NGO Care. She answers questions from three CE2-CM2 students at the Etienne Dolet school in Alfortville in the Val-de-Marne.

We start with a first schoolboy question: “Do most of the refugees manage to come to France? Perhaps not all of them can come…” Emily asks. The next question goes to Noah: “Why do refugees go less to France and more to Poland?” he asks, an observer.

Emily again wonders if we “give things without paying”. On the accommodation of the displaced, Noah still wonders: “Do some Ukrainians go to people they don’t know and sleep there?” Anna finally wonders “how Ukrainians understand the language of the country”.
