Mathias Penguilly: To talk about the autonomous republic of Crimea, we needed someone who knows the region well and I therefore logically called on Clara Marchaud, L’Express correspondent in Ukraine. Hello Clara !
Clara Marchaud: Hello Mathias!
Mathias Penguilly: If you are a loyal listener of Loupe, and you have followed our episodes dedicated to the war in Ukraine, you undoubtedly know where Crimea is located: it is a region in the south of the country, on the Black Sea. But its particularity, Clara, is that it is a peninsula.
Clara Marchaud: Yes, it is a peninsula, a peninsula, it is only connected to Ukraine by a narrow arm of land. In area, it is barely smaller than Brittany and it has always been a highly coveted region. Moreover, even today, it is at the heart of the confrontation between Moscow and kyiv. I’ll explain everything to you.
