If some, the most established, have decided to stay despite the threat, they would be around 60% of French people residing in Ukraine to have already left the country.
As the situation in Ukraine continues to become tense, France recommends that its nationals leave the country. “For the French who live in Kiev there are two types of reactions. Those who have made their lives here do not want to leave and are not impressed by the increasingly pressing threats”explains Dorothée Olliéric, special correspondent in Kiev.
