The sequence broadcast by “Daily“This Monday evening is chilling. We see an explosion sound just a few meters from a team of special envoys in Kramatorsk, a city located in eastern Ukraine. If there is no no injuries to deplore within the team, Paul Gasnier, Héloïse Grégoire and Théo Palfray are “in shock”.
The microphone is ready, the camera on, the duplex will soon be able to begin… When suddenly, a sharp explosion rings out. The images are striking. “We were thrown to the ground. I lost my microphone“, says the journalist Paul Gasnier still live from Kramatorsk. “It was very close, it can be counted in tens of meters.”
“We had dust in our eyes and mouths. Part of the hotel entrance collapsed on top of us, and the windows shattered“, he confides to Yann Barthès. “We were very scared.“
