It is known that every day the filmmaker records a documentary video and posts his thoughts about the war on Facebook.

"He is well known in France and Europe - he cooperates with 11 world TV channels, 30 French ones, with almost 18 million listeners. Jacqui is independent in his assessments, as he does not officially work for any media outlet," the publication reports.

In particular, it adds that he is a military reporter, but tells viewers about the life of civilians in the face of armed aggression. For his videos, he finds relatives of the dead military and civilians, visited Bucha, Irpin, Borodyanka, and traveled to the north of Zhytomyr region.

Jacqui Leba also records the consequences of the destruction after the shelling in the Zhytomyr region. The publication notes that he plans to travel all over Ukraine with his camera and camera. He has already shot more than 60 videos. They will become the basis for a new documentary about the war.

The filmmaker also travels around the world to talk about Ukraine. He shows fragments of his future documentary filmed during the war and then talks to the audience. The director has already held 14 meetings abroad in April, June and September.

"In January, Mr. Leba will speak to the French public, and his exhibition of 45 works will be on display in Normandy for a week. In February, he will travel to Canada and then to Israel. He does all this at his own expense. On February 24, the anniversary of the beginning of the full-scale war, Jacqui Leba already has an invitation for a number of programs on various channels," he added.
