the concern of French people stranded in the country

This Tuesday, March 1, it is almost impossible to leave Kiev by train. There are hundreds of them trying their luck, their eyes glued to the information boards. Among them, Philippe, a Frenchman who came to join his partner last month without a car or a license, who finds himself lost in the middle of a war. “You have to jostle to get on the train and you don’t know how it works exactly”, he testifies. The trains are indeed crowded.

Many of them take the roads towards the western borders. This is the case of another French national in Ukraine, Mohammed. After 13 hours in the car, he arrived in Lviv on Tuesday March 1, far from the bombardments. “The idea is to go to a border where there are not a lot of people because the situation is becoming critical, people are getting nervous”he explains.
