The Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs of France has launched a communication campaign ahead of the fourth anniversary of Russia’s full-scale war against Ukraine to show the “reality of war in the lives of Ukrainians,” ministry spokesperson Pascal Confarre said at a briefing, UATV English reports.

“We are doing this because we cannot allow a sense of ‘habit’ to form. We also want to show that there is no ‘fatigue’ in Europe’s support for Ukraine,” the spokesperson emphasized.

The campaign includes a series of social media videos produced in collaboration with foreign ministry counterparts from other countries, highlighting solidarity between Ukrainians and Europeans.

“France and Europe will continue to provide decisive and substantial support to Ukraine. If the Ukrainian people are the first victims of this aggressive war, it concerns all of us Europeans. The security of our continent is at stake in Ukraine,” the spokesperson added.

The featured video showcases two female doctors—one French and one Ukrainian—sharing their experiences. The French doctor describes her daily work, while the Ukrainian doctor recounts performing surgeries without electricity and during air raid alerts.

The campaign follows announcements by Catherine Vautrin, who stated that France will continue collaborating with Ukraine on armaments and joint solutions, including drones, and support constructive exchanges within the framework of the Coalition of the Willing on security guarantees.
