“I experienced the ultimate terror,” says a Kyiv resident

On the fourth day of the war in Ukraine, fighting continues in the capital Kyiv and other cities across the country. The sirens sounded several times in the night from Saturday to Sunday. The resistance is organized. But fear also sets in. More and more present, more and more hard.

franceinfo collected on Sunday February 27 the testimony of Vera, cloistered at home since last Thursday. His testimony, between anger and despair, is to be read and listened to.

Situation in Kiev: Vera’s testimony at the microphone of Ersin Leibowitch

to listen


franceinfo:
How was last night?

Vera: I did not go to a shelter. I didn’t want to go there because I want to stay here, in my house, with my animals, my cats, my dog. Last night was tough. In Kiev, it was calm. But it’s not easy at all. I experienced the ultimate terror and I cannot find the words to describe this experience. They threaten us, not just Ukrainians: all of us.

We hear your emotion. Fear, fatigue, anger are immense?

Hate, fear, terror, anger, pain. All. Yes, that’s my experience these days. I read all the time, I read the news on the sites, that of our Ministry of Defense or other organizations. This situation is madness.

You don’t want to try to leave Kyiv or even leave Ukraine?

No ! It’s my house.

Do you think that the Western powers which oppose Russia at the moment play their role with banking, economic, diplomatic pressures?

Yes, yes, yes, yes, I see that. I see military, financial and people support. But this is insufficient. We don’t have the right to do that to us, to do that to people.

You want Vladimir Putin dead, is that what you’re saying?

Yes, yes, yes, yes, And I’ll party that day, if I’m still alive.

The resistance of the Ukrainian population seems very strong.

Yes, she is very strong. My colleagues, friends, all those who can, who have the energy, participate. Everything is violence, here we live in violence. Even in my kitchen now, when I speak with you, I experience violence. She is around us here.
