In Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, tension is at its height.
Shooting, bombing, troops posted around the city… The Russian assault is only a matter of time.
Cyrille, a Frenchman living in Kiev, was kind enough to recount his daily life since the Russian attack on Thursday February 24.
"We are in the heart of the city, we have incessant bombardments," he says.
"We did not believe it, we could not imagine that in 2022, we would experience an attack of such magnitude".
He says he thought about leaving, but the roads were already saturated.
Having the chance to benefit from a foreign passport, he “should be evacuated, but given the current conditions, it is impossible”.
“We hear the bombardments, they make the building resonate, we have the windows moving,” he confides.

Cyrille is however not in a precarious situation for the moment, the fighting not taking place exactly in his neighborhood.
But he expresses his concern about the evolution of the situation: “How far can it go?
When you see helicopters shooting at each other under your windows, all you think about is getting out, saving your skin.”
