>>> WE DON'T HAVE ELECTRICITY.
WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING TO EAT.
WE DON'T HAVE MEDICINE.
WE HAVE NOTHING, THIS WOMAN
SAYS.
>> I BELIEVE THAT KIDS SHOULDN'T
SEE THE MURDER.
THEY SHOULDN'T HEAR THE BOMBS
FALLING ON THEIR CITY.
THAT'S WHY WE ARE HERE.
HOPING THAT SOMETHING WILL
CHANGE, THAT OUR ARMY WILL STAND
UNTIL THE END AND GOD WILL
INFLUENCE THE SITUATION AND WE
CAN COME BACK TO OUR NATIVE LAND
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
>> TWO UKRAINIAN WOMEN IN THE
INTERVIEWS STANDING ON OPPOSITE
SIDES OF THE COUNTRY'S BORDER.
IT IS THE NEW REALITY 14 DAYS
OLD.
FOR MILLIONS OF PEOPLE FORCED TO
CHOOSE BETWEEN THE UNTHINKABLE.
RIGHT?
LEAVING THEIR HOME AND HOMELAND
WITH BABIES AND LEAVING THE
HUSBANDS BEHIND OR STAYING
BEHIND AND WHAT'S QUICKLY BECOME
WHAT UKRAINE IS UNPROVOKED
UNJUSTIFIED WAR TARGETING
CIVILIANS.
HELL ON EARTH AS THEY DESCRIBE
IT.
JOINING US IS A MEMBER OF THE
UKRAINIAN PARLIAMENT.
SHE EXPRESSED THE CONCERNS AND
THE DEMANDS FOR MORE FROM THE
U.S., MORE PROTECTION FROM THE
U.S. AND NATO.
TELL US WHAT YOU ARE HEARING
ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING AND IF
YOU COULD TAKE US FROM EAST TO
WEST AND TELL US WHAT'S
HAPPENING IN UKRAINE TODAY.
>> YOU KNOW, I'M FROM KYIV CITY
AND HALF OF MY FRIENDS WHO ARE
GIRLS HAD ALREADY LEFT WITH
THEIR BABIES, WITH THEIR
CHILDREN, SO PEOPLE WHO USED
TO -- I DON'T KNOW -- RUN BIG
OFFICES IN MY COUNTRY ARE
SLEEPING WITH THEIR BABIES AT
THE RAIL STATIONS IN POLAND OR
IN LVIV ON THE FLOOR JUST
WAITING FOR HOURS IN LINES JUST
TO CROSS THE BORDER TO SAVE
THEIR KIDS IS SOMETHING I CANNOT
STILL BELIEVE IS HAPPENING IN
THE COUNTRY.
SOME STAY AND SEND THE KIDS
ABROAD WITH PARENTS, WITH THEIR
GRANDPARENTS.
BUT THEY STAY THERE WITH THE
HUSBANDS TO PROTECT THE CITY.
IT'S CRAZY.
ALL THESE PEOPLE DREAM ABOUT IS
THAT THEY WILL NOT BE REFUGEES
THE REST OF THEIR LIVES AND
WOULD HAVE A PLACE TO COME BACK
AND THAT'S WHAT UKRAINIANS ARE
FIGHTING FOR BECAUSE IF WE DON'T
HAVE A COUNTRY TO COME BACK TO,
IF KYIV IS GOING TO BE THE
SECOND ALEPPO AND THAT'S GOING
ON IN MARIUPOL CITY IN THE EAST
OF THE COUNTRY BOMBED AND
PROBABLY EVERYBODY SAW HOW THE
MATERNITY HOSPITAL IS BEING
BOMBED AND THE ORPHANAGES AND
SOMETHING WE COULDN'T IMAGINE
TWO WEEKS AGO TO BE HONEST BUT
THIS IS THE REALITY FOR US NOW
AND BEG FOR THE INTERNATIONAL
COMMUNITY FOR THE DEFENSE, FOR
THE AIR DEFENSE THAT WE NEED
BECAUSE WE CAN FIGHT ON THE
GROUND.
WE CAN KICK PUTIN OUT AND THE
ARMY FROM OUR COUNTRY BUT WE
CANNOT DO ANYTHING WITH THE SKY
AND THAT'S WHERE THE MISSILES
AND THE BOMBS ARE COMING FROM
AND TARGETING THE CIVILIAN
POPULATION.
HIS STRATEGY IS TO KILL AS MANY
CIVILIANS TO PUT US AT THE TABLE
FOR NEGOTIATIONS WHICH ARE NOT
NEGOTIATIONS BUT BASICALLY
BLACKMAILING US THAT I WILL HAVE
MORE CHILDREN DIE AND WOMEN DIE
UNTIL YOU SIGN WHAT I WANT YOU
TO SIGN.
>> WE COVERED THE SORT OF SLOW
MOVE TOWARD KYIV FROM THE
SUBURBS WHERE CIVILIANS HAVE
BEEN TARGETED AND KILLED.
I WONDER IF YOU CAN TELL ME WHAT
YOU EXPECT.
THE MILITARY ASSESSES ONE TO TWO
WEEKS FOR RUSSIANS FORCES TO
ENSINGLE KYIV AND THEN ANOTHER
SEVERAL WEEKS OF FIGHTING.
CAN YOU TELL ME HOW YOU PREPARE
FOR THAT?
>> THE ARMY IS PREPARED ON THE
GROUND SO THINGS GOT --
YESTERDAY WE HAD 1,000 PEOPLE
EVACUATED FROM THE SUBURBS OF
KYIV BECAUSE TO BE HONEST WHAT
PUTIN HAS BEEN DOING SO FAR AND
HIS ARMY OFFICERS IS USING
CIVILIANS AS A HUMAN SHIELD FOR
THE ARMY AND PEOPLE SPEND WEEKS
ALREADY IN THE BASEMENTS TOTALLY
SURROUNDED BY THE RUSSIAN ARMY
AND NOT LET US EVACUATE WOMEN OR
CHILDREN BECAUSE THEY KNOW WE
WON'T BE ABLE TO SHOOT THE ARMY.
YESTERDAY WE EVACUATED ABOUT
1,000 PEOPLE FROM THE SUBURBS OF
KYIV TO BE EASIER FOR US BUT I
KEEP TELLING EVERYBODY IN THE
UNITED STATES AND IN THE EU THAT
WE CAN PROTECT OURSELVES ON THE
GROUND.
WE HAVE ARMED SUPPORT AND
AMMUNITION.
WE GET IT FROM ALL PARTNERS BUT
WE NEED UNFORTUNATELY TO CONTROL
THE SKIES.
SO FAR THE BIGGEST DAMAGE
ESPECIALLY FOR THE CIVILIAN POPULATION IS DONE BY MISSILES
POPULATION IS DONE BY MISSILES
COMING FROM THE RUSSIA OR
BELARUS BORDER.
AND CHERNOBYL.
A BIGGEST NUCLEAR STATION IN
EUROPE.
THEY SURROUNDED IT WITH THE
VEHICLES.
THEY SHOOT MISSILES TO KYIV.
SO WE CANNOT SHOOT BACK WITH THE
AIR DEFENSE SYSTEM BECAUSE THE
NUCLEAR FACTORY WILL GO ON FIRE.
THAT WAS A SMART MOVE.
WE NEED THEM TO SHOOT THE
MISSILES DOWN AND TALKING TO THE
INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS THAT WE
NEED AT LEAST NO-FLY ZONE OVER
DID BIGGEST CITIES SO THE
CIVILIAN POPULATION CANNOT BE
HIT.
WE CANNOT SHOOT BACK SO WE NEED
THE AIR DEFENSE SYSTEM TO PUT
THE MISSILES AND JETS DOWN.
THEY BOMB THE CIVILIAN
POPULATION.
FOUR HOURS BEFORE THE MATERNITY
HOSPITAL IN MARIUPOL WAS BOMBED
THEY CAME OUT WITH A STATEMENT
NOT A MATERNITY HOSPITAL BUT A
HOSPITAL WHERE THE SOLDIERS ARE
AND HOW THEY EXPLAIN THE RUSSIAN
PEOPLE WHY THEY HAVE BEEN
BOMBING THE MATERNITY HOSPITAL.
UNFORTUNATELY IT WILL CONTINUE
AND I KEEP TELLING THE UNITED
STATES, NATO, THE EUROPEAN
COUNTRIES THAT THIS IS JUST --
HOW MUCH TIME IT TAKES AND HOW
MANY LIVES UNTIL HE SHOOTS A
NUCLEAR STATION OR THOUSANDS OF
PEOPLE DIE BUT WE'LL HAVE PEOPLE
DEAD BEFORE WE WOULD NEED TO
CLOSE THE SKIES FROM THE
MISSILES AND THE AIR JETS.
>> AND THIS COUNTRY OUR
PRESIDENT HAS MADE CLEAR THAT
THAT IS SOMETHING HE VIEWS AS A
PROVOCATION THAT COULD LEAD TO
WORLD WAR III WHY.
WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THAT?
>> PUTIN DOESN'T NEED A
PROVOCATION.
HE'S DONE THAT IN 2008 IN
GEORGIA.
IN SYRIA.
IN UKRAINE IN 2014 AND NOW.
BECAUSE NOBODY EXPECTED THAT
THINGS LIKE THAT AND THIS IS A
GENOCIDE AND AN EXECUTION OF THE
WHOLE NATION.
LIKE THAT WE ARE WATCHING 24/7
RIGHT NOW IN THE CENTER OF THE
EUROPE.
HE IS A PSYCHOPATH.
IF HE WANTS TO GO INTO WAR WITH
NATO, U.S., ANY OTHER COUNTRY
HE'LL DO THAT.
WE HAVE TO BE TOUGH ON HIM.
WE ARE NOT ASKING ANY NATO
MEMBER OR THE UNITED STATES TO
FIGHT ON THE GROUND.
WE CAN DO IT AND WE HAD ALREADY
PROVED THAT.
ALL WE ARE ASKING IS AIR DEFENSE
SYSTEM CONTROLLING THE SKY SO
THE BOMBS DON'T SHOOT OUR
CHILDREN AND BABIES AND WOMEN.
THIS IS THE SAME THING WE KEEP
ASKING.
ONE MORE THING FOR YOU TO
UNDERSTAND.
THIS IS A MATTER OF TIME.
HE IS NOT GOING TO STOP UNLESS
THE WORLD STOPS HIM.
AND THE FURTHER HE GOES THE MORE
DIFFICULT IT IS AND THE LIVES HE
HAS.
IF HE WANTS TO START WORLD WAR
III MAYBE THE WORLD SHOULD STOP
THIS GUY.
OTHERWISE THIS IS GOING TO BE A
DISASTER.
WE HAVE 90 COUNTRIES IN THE
WORLD, THE BIGGEST AND MOST
POWERFUL, UNITED STATES, NATO
WHO SAID THAT THEY ARE ALIGNED
WITH UKRAINE, SPORTIVE OF
UKRAINE AND CANNOT STAND A CYCLE
THERE NOT IN KREMLIN.
HE IS HIDING SOMEWHERE IN A
