For Jackie Lebas of France, the Ukrainian population did not anticipate an attack from Russia. “People in the villages are not used to that. They do not believe what has just happened, it is very fast and violent, “he said in an interview with Mario Dumont on LCN on Friday, recalling that Ukrainians were living normally two days ago.

“Ordinary humans, we did not believe it,” Mr. LeBoss added, but there was no rush to the stores to store.

Over the course of a week and a half, Jackie Lebas estimated that many French people living in Zaitomir had fled the country, noting that many were now trapped in Poland and Romania. “Entry into Europe will be difficult if you do not return to your home country,” he added.

For his part, Jackie LeBos decided to be there to testify to the situation. “I assist journalists and reporters from all over the world to do their job well. You have to have commentators, taxis, cars, turn around and have powers. I am here, I will be there and I will be in service to this country that has never asked for a problem for its neighbors, ”he said, adding that he now considers Ukraine as his country.
