Subtitles in: French - English - Russian - Ukraine - German Ukraine has been torn apart by a conflict in the Donbass region since 2014. This documentary allows us to discover this country, its riches as well as its wounds, through the eyes of the 2 diplomats who have succeeded one another as French ambassadors. Isabelle Dumont, ambassador from 2014 to 2019, closely followed all the developments in the country at this pivotal period in its history. Before leaving kyiv and handing over to Etienne de Poncins, she made a final trip to meet Ukrainians in several regions. She met successively with villagers from Donbass, living on the contact line, the mayor of the city of Mariupol located on the shores of the Sea of ​​Azov where a French company is working to make the drinking water network more reliable, and the agents of a helicopter maintenance base set up by Airbus for the Ministry of the Interior. We also follow the ambassador when the Ukrainian president solemnly receives the containment enclosure of the Chernobyl power plant built by a French company. Or, with her guests during the unmissable festivities of July 14 at the embassy residence. Everywhere, the French ambassador works to rebuild Ukraine and defends the values ​​and interests of France. At the start of the 2019 school year, it is her successor, Etienne de Poncins, who takes over. The new ambassador takes us behind the scenes of the negotiations conducted in Paris between Ukraine and Russia, under the aegis of France and Germany. He enlightens us on the issues at stake in this meeting - known as the "Normandy" format - between Volodymyr Zelensky, Vladimir Putin, Angela Merkel and Emmanuel Macron, which allowed dialogue to be renewed between Ukraine and Russia. This documentary produced by the Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs allows you to discover from the inside the concrete actions of French diplomacy for the benefit of populations and how collaborations with different political and economic institutions are conducted. Observers, promoters, mediators, representatives ... you will see how diplomats understand the reality of a country to understand it and build strong ties with France. Royalty-free music: credits.
