War in Ukraine: in the Boutcha region, Ukrainians still have confidence in their army
War in Ukraine: in the Boutcha region, Ukrainians still have confidence in their army – (FRANCEINFO)
In Bucha, Ukraine, despite Russian advances, Ukrainians still have confidence in their army. If the front is several hundred kilometers away, here, the Russian threat comes from the sky.
At a market in Boutcha in Ukraine, Thursday February 22, there is an uneasy calm. Life continues almost normally, two years after the start of the war. A market gardener confides in the France Télévisions teams. The front is several hundred kilometers away, but the Russian threat comes from the sky. “We don’t have time to live, we are bombarded at least once a week.”, she laments. The market gardener takes the journalists a few kilometers away, where she has always lived. The Russians occupied this village for a month. His house was burned and then completely destroyed. She has lost everything, but she has one hope: the end of the war.
Capture of Avdiivka does not dampen optimism
A few hundred meters away, in Mochchoun, a resident is also a survivor of the Russian invasion. He lives alone in temporary accommodation of less than 10 square meters. “My wife is dead, killed by a Russian shell in the courtyard“, he confides. The capture of Avdiivka by the Russians has not dampened his optimism regarding a victory for Ukraine. Despite Russian advances, these Ukrainians assure journalists: they still have confidence in their army.
