The inhabitants of Romilly-sur-Seine (Aube) have been immersed in concern for several days because of the tensions between Russia and Ukraine, reports France 3 Grand Est.
Despite numerous attempts, they no longer receive any news from Uman, a Ukrainian city with which they have been twinned since December 1, 1967, on the initiative of the former mayor and communist resistance fighter, Maurice Camuset.
"I haven't heard from very dear friends"
Over the years, ties have remained very close between the two cities.
The current mayor Jany Rousseau has already visited Ukraine four times.
“I sent emails, SMS, without answer.
Even with Facebook, I have no news from very dear friends that I know there, nor from the mayor or the former mayor, ”he confided to the regional channel.
Several Ukrainians also came to Aube.
French was still, a few years ago, the first language taught in the three universities of Uman before being overtaken by English.
