This Monday, February 14, the G7, which includes France, said it was ready for sanctions with massive consequences against Moscow in the context of the conflict in Ukraine. In the meantime, Ukrainians are preparing, and many are determined to defend their country. A restaurant owner thus offers a pizza to all those who buy a weapon.
In the center of Kiev, all Ukrainian servicemen know the “Veterans Pizzeria”. On the wall, the medals obtained on the battlefield by the boss, Leonid Ostaltsev, are displayed. A former sniper, he fought for more than a year in the Donbass against pro-Russian militiamen. Today, he encourages his fellow citizens to take up arms. For those who buy one, he even offers a pizza, and teaches the use of weapons to the youngest.
The Ukrainians make it a point of honor to continue a normal life despite the 130,000 Russian soldiers massed on their border. But everyone thinks of war and lives in uncertainty. “We have to be ready. But we hope that diplomacy works”, says the boss. Special envoy to Kiev, the journalist of 13 Hours Dorothée Olliéric indicates that, this afternoon, the ambassador of France in Ukraine must hold a meeting on security.
