19/20 takes stock of the information from the last 24 hours in the conflict between Ukraine and Russia.
Ukraine will experience its 662nd day of conflict on Wednesday, November 8th. Strikes in Donetsk, Olena Zelenska’s cry for help and 200 million euros in aid… That’s what we should remember from this day.
Picture of the day: Strikes on Donetsk
Among the striking images that remain in the memory are the attacks on Donetsk, a city in the west of the country that is under Russian control. The few images available show gutted walls and destroyed roofs. Above all, civilian buildings were targeted, especially residential buildings. According to the city’s mayor, there are six dead and around ten injured. The Russians blame the Ukrainians. Kyiv does not comment.
Quote of the day: “Don’t forget Ukraine!”
Olena Zelenska, the wife of the Ukrainian president, says: “Don’t forget Ukraine! Be careful, Vladimir Putin will not stop at the borders of the former Soviet republic.” The Ukrainian first lady spoke to our colleagues at L’Express. In Paris she repeated this message on Wednesday evening. She says: “Military aid to Ukraine is arriving too slowly. Europe must no longer turn a blind eye.”
Today’s figure: 200 million euros
This is the amount of France’s aid to Ukraine. This is a support fund intended to enable Ukraine to purchase French military equipment. This is a new long-term strategy, a bilateral relationship. Europe, for its part, is still struggling to agree on a massive €20 billion in aid that would go to Ukrainians.
