an exceptional and very strict curfew implemented in Kyiv

“It is an exceptional and very strict curfew that begins (in kyiv, this Tuesday, March 15). For 36 hours, it is forbidden, even for journalists, to go out in the street”explains Agnès Vahramian, special correspondent in kyiv. “The Ukrainian army launches a mopping-up operation: it will drive out what it suspects are groups of Russian fighters who have infiltrated the city”says the journalist.

For General François Chauvancy, there is a “harassment by bombing of the civilian population”. “It’s more than harassment of Ukrainians, it’s terror”bounces Marie Mendras, political scientist at the CNRS and CERI. “Terror can paralyze and induce capitulation. Thousands of women and children have already been killed”she adds.
