Tension is at its height on Saturday February 19, in the crisis between Russia and Ukraine. Ukrainian armed forces and pro-Russian separatists accuse each other of serious ceasefire violations, raising fears of an imminent Russian invasion. Maryse Burgot, special correspondent in Myronivsky (Ukraine), takes stock of the situation.
The situation is tense in Ukraine. “It is a new illustration of the communication battle that is underway. This morning of Saturday February 19, the two separatist leaders of Donbass proclaim the general mobilization, they ask the reservists to join the barracks”, reports Maryse Burgot, special correspondent in Myronivsky, Ukraine. “It seems that these leaders want to dramatize the situationadds the journalist. According to them, Ukraine is preparing to invade their region.“
“I am very close to the front line”, describes the journalist, at the place where a Ukrainian soldier was killed the same morning by a shrapnel. “In fact, on one side or the other, we accuse each other of violations of the ceasefire, moreover we hear quite regularly here of bombardments“, concludes Maryse Burgot, from Myronivsky.
