What is the real scale of the withdrawal of Russian troops in Ukraine? Currently, it is clearly visible in the north of the country. The capital, kyiv, is no longer really besieged. This withdrawal after 37 days of war raises questions.
The Ukrainian flag once again thrones in the suburbs of kyiv (Ukraine), Saturday, April 2. It was occupied by Russian forces until a few days ago. “We got them !”, welcomes a woman by noting the carcasses of Russian tanks, some still smoking, about twenty kilometers from the capital. Many Russian soldiers perished on the spot, and were charred in their armored vehicles.
A pensioner, one of the oldest in the village, tells journalists from France Télévisions that the Russian soldiers asked him for cigarettes, because some of them slept there for a few nights in unoccupied houses, like that of Igor . “That’s all the Russians left behind, they’re animals”, he denounces. Around kyiv, the Russian noose has loosened considerably over the past few hours.
