In the ambulance that so often takes him between his mother’s house and the Le Mans hospital, Maxime always hears himself asked the same questions. “Is it still tense there in Ukraine? Is there still war? » The injured man answers “yes”. In reality, he would like to say that “it’s worse”, but his politeness prevents him from undermining the morale of his caregivers. He understood.

Max comes out of a butcher’s shop from another time. He is a survivor from Donbass. This volunteer in the Ukrainian armed forces was injured during his first reconnaissance mission, near the village of Klishchiivka on the eastern flank of Bakhmout, on July 3. “A missile went through me,” he warned on the phone. Soldier’s joke? We didn’t really believe it until we saw it. He was telling the truth.
