VIDEO. War in Ukraine: France 2 found a family scarred by the conflict, a year after meeting them in Irpin

Dacha has grown up and is now 14 years old. Masha, her little sister, is six. A year has passed since their first meeting with a France 2 team in Irpin, Ukraine. The city was then targeted by numerous Russian bombardments. Their mother, Anna, however, refused to leave the country, wishing to remain in charge of her own mother. Her husband wanted to flee Irpin to put their daughters in safety. The dispute had been filmed by France 2, between two shell falls.

The day after this disagreement, the building of this Ukrainian family was again bombed. Anna, hit by shrapnel, did not survive. “I see her, I take her in my arms and I understand that it’s over”, testifies today her husband. He now lives with his two daughters in Germany, where France’s “20 heures” returned to see the family, a year after the tragedy.
