Sacha is alone, here in France. He was granted asylum in 2023, but he lives by makeshifts. He sleeps in squats, sometimes even on the street. However, he does not regret having left Russia and there is no question that he will fight this war in Ukraine. “You know, if another country had tried to invade my homeland, I would have had no problem taking up arms, he explains. But in this case, invading lands that are not ours, killing women, children, old people and being part of this criminal army, in a criminal war… I will not be able to live my whole life afterwards That.”
