IA year ago, the world was preparing for the fall of kyiv. Well, I just got in there, and kyiv is holding up. The left bank of the Vistula, on this chilly evening of Tuesday, February 21, was full of curious people who came to listen to American President Joe Biden, the day after his surprise visit to the Ukrainian capital. It was from the arcades of Kubicki, adjoining the gardens of the Royal Castle, in the old town of Warsaw, that the president spoke for about twenty minutes.

A symbol that resonates all the more strongly in the still distant prospect of post-war Ukraine.
