what do the French think?

At 11th day of war in Ukraine, what do the French think of the conflict? First there are the anxious, very worried about the attitude of Vladimir Putin. “It’s scary to know that we have someone who may not have all his senses and who is capable of sending nuclear bombs”said a woman. But the anguish does not prevent to feel very solidary towards the Ukrainians. “There are associations, there are plenty of points where we can drop off food, clothes, so we do what we can and we try to help at our level”thinks a woman.

And then there are those who are pragmatic, even disillusioned. “If there is a Third World War, I want to tell you, there will be one, whether it comes from there or elsewhere, I wouldn’t even be surprised“, admits a woman. “It’s not worth getting hysterical, it won’t solve the problem. We’re worried, we’re careful and that’s all we can do“, replies another.
