One year already… One year that the war is raging a little more than 2000km from France. Indeed, February 24, 2022 marked the beginning of the conflict between Ukraine and Russia. For a year, the Russian President, Vladimir Poutin, and the Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelensky, do not seem to want to put an end to the war. For its part, France supports the country led by Volodymyr Zelensky and it proves it through various actions. Especially in terms of culture.
Indeed, this Thursday, February 23, many personalities took the train to kyiv. The airlines are still suspended, the train remains the only option to travel to the country at war for a year. This is why Carole Bouquet chose this option, along with the Minister of Culture, Rima Abdul-Malak, to go to Ukraine. But the 65-year-old actress did not go there to see the damage and the horror that reigns on the kyiv side. If the actress “Cold Buffet”, “For Your Eyes Only”or “Tiredness” wanted to travel more than 2000km from her home, it is within the framework of the creation of a European fund devoted to the cinema as recalled Here is.

Carole Bouquet tackled for her trip to Ukraine
In addition to this European fund, a project to translate two hundred French works is planned. To announce this great news, Carole Bouquet therefore posed on the train, this Thursday, February 24. On her Instagram account, the movie star posted a photo of herself in her cabin on a sleeper train heading to kyiv. “Yesterday I left for kyiv. My night on the train from Poland to Kiev with our Minister of Culture, Madame @rima.abdulmalak, Valéry Freland, Aliph Foundation, Laurence Des Cars, President and Director of the Louvre, Anais Demoustier, Jonathan Littel, Anthony Porchron and Mathieu Fournet, Advisor in in charge of cinema and European and international affairs, until today”, she captioned her post.
But many Internet users expressed their anger. In particular for the luxurious side of her berth, while she goes to a country where chaos has reigned for a year. “You don’t find it indecent to show us your sleeping cabin, which is very comfortable. Whereas in France and Ukraine some people live in cellars, without heating or electricity?”for example noted a user while others lamented: “It’s true that this image in this comfortable train car is shocking… Who finances these travels of people? These poor Ukrainians deserve to be used more effectively this money… You live in another world… I appreciate you very much, but you live a bit out of reality”or “what a cardboard heroine”. Next time, Carole Bouquet will surely refrain from posting a snapshot in her bunk…
