>> Shannon: PETER DOOCY FROM
THE WHITE HOUSE PEER THANK YOU.
AND FOR A FIRST-HAND ACCOUNT OF
THE UKRAINIAN POINT OF VIEW ON
TONIGHT’S OF ELEMENTS, LET’S
BRING IN A MEMBER OF UKRAINE’S
PARLIAMENT, ALEXI GUNTER AND
CHO.
HE HAS LIFE IN KIEV OR IT IS
THURSDAY MORNING.
CAN YOU TELL US HOW YOU’RE DOING
TONIGHT AND WHAT IS THE MOOD
THERE IN THE CITY?
>> HELLO.
CANNOT SAY GOOD MORNING.
THERE ARE EXPLOSIONS IN THE
CITY.
OUR MILITARY INFRASTRUCTURE,
REPORTS ARE BOUND.
AND IT IS NOT ONLY ABOUT KIEV,
IT IS ODESSA, THE BIG CITIES OF
THE COUNTRY AND IN SMALLER TOO.
THERE IS A FALSE GRANT OHMIC
SCALE ATTACK ON UKRAINE USING
HEAVY ARTILLERY AND ROCKETS.
THAT IS THE SITUATION.
CAN ADDRESS THE AMERICAN SOCIETY
NOW.
I WANT TO TO PUSH YOUR
GOVERNMENT TO THE TOP AS
POSSIBLE SANCTIONS AGAINST PUTIN
NOW.
I’M SPEAKING ABOUT PLEASE,
RICHARD PUSH THEM OUT OF THE
GLOBAL ECONOMY.
BAN ON RUSSIAN OIL AND GAS.
SOMETHING WHICH CAN STOP RUSSIA
BECAUSE MORE THAN HALF OF
RUSSIA’S BUDGET IS OIL AND GAS.
THAT IS ALL.
THAT IS JUST A VERY -- AND IT
SHOULD BE STOPPED NOW BECAUSE
THEY ARE KILLING INNOCENT PEOPLE
JUST IN THIS MINUTE.
AND ALSO WANT TO ASK AMERICAN
GOVERNMENT TO HELP US TO PROVIDE
NO-FLY ZONE OVER UKRAINE.
I UNDERSTAND THAT NOBODY WILL
FIGHT YOUR CRANE ON THE GROUND.
WE ARE READY TO FIGHT FOR
OURSELVES.
FOR OUR NATION, BUT WE NEED HELP
IN THE SKIES BECAUSE RUSSIA AS
WE UNDERSTAND IT IS MUCH MORE
POWERFUL IN THE SKIES.
SO WE NEED A NO-FLY ZONE JUST TO
GIVE US A AN OPPORTUNITY TO
FIGHT ON THE LAND.
THAT IS WHAT IT IS VERY
IMPORTANT FOR THE MOMENT.
>> Shannon: LET ME ASK YOU,
THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF
CONVERSATION ABOUT WHAT AID HAS
BEEN PROVIDED TO THE UKRAINIAN
PEOPLE SEEK A DISK WITH THE MIC
AND EQUIP YOURSELF WILL BE
READY.
ARE YOU READY ON THAT FRONT?
WHAT ELSE COULD USE IF THAT AID
CAN GET TO YOU NOW?
>> IT IS HARD TO BE READY FOR
THINGS LIKE THIS PAIRED BY THE
WAY, IT IS NOT ABOUT ONLY
UKRAINE.
I THINK WE ARE MOVING -- THEY
CAN FINISH WITH A THIRD
WORLD WAR.
THAT IS ABSOLUTELY CLEAR.
SO THE DANGER IS FOR THE WHOLE
WORLD AND PUTIN IS NOT GOING TO
STOP.
WE ARE READY TO FIGHT.
WE HAVE RECEIVED A LOT OF
MILITARY EQUIPMENT LAST TIME,
BUT THIS EQUIPMENT, EVERYTHING
IS ABOUT FIGHTING ON THE LAND.
SORRY FOR REPEATING, BUT WHAT IS
VERY IMPORTANT IS THE SKIES.
WE NEED ASSISTANCE NOW.
I ALSO WANT TO ADDRESS UKRAINIAN
IN THE UNITED STATES.
PLEASE, GO TO RUSSIA
REPRESENTATIVES, PLEASE CONTACT
YOUR SENATORS, CONGRESSMEN, THE
GOVERNORS, WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT
NOW.
>> Shannon: VERY DIFFICULT TO
WATCH AS WE HAVE ONE OF OUR
REPORTERS THEY’RE JUST MOMENTS
AGO WE HEARD THE CHURCH BELLS
RINGING MINGLED IN WITH
EXPLOSIONS THEY ARE.
DID YOU ANTICIPATE THAT THIS
FIRST WAVE FOR MARSHA WOULD BE
SO COMPREHENSIVE NOT JUST IN ONE
SPOT WERE IN THE FRINGES OR THE
CORNER BUT MUCH MORE WIDESPREAD?
>> CERTAINLY NOBODY KNEW IT, BUT
AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE TELLING
THIS TO THE WORLD AND WE
APPRECIATE THIS.
UNFORTUNATELY IT HAPPENS THIS
WAY.
I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO ADD.
PUTIN IS MAD.
HE IS HITLER OF 21ST CENTURY.
HE SHOULD BE STOPPED NOW OR HE
WILL GO FORWARD.
HE WILL NOT STOP ON UKRAINE.
SORRY, BUT HE WILL NOT STOP.
>> Shannon: YOU MENTIONS THE
VERY TOP SANCTIONS POSSIBLE
EXCLUDING RUSSIA FROM PLACES
LIKE THE SWIFT BANKING, FROM OIL
AND GAS, THINGS THAT ARE
CRITICAL OF THE RUSSIAN ECONOMY.
JUST LAST WEEK, A RUSSIAN
OFFICIAL SAID THEY DON’T GIVE A
BLANK ABOUT SANCTIONS WHERE THEY
WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
ARE YOU CONVINCED THERE ARE
SANCTIONS THAT CAN BE LEVIED
THAT WILL GET THEIR ATTENTION AT
THIS POINT?
>> YES, I AM SURE THAT A BAN ON
RUSSIAN OIL AND GAS IS SOMETHING
THAT WILL STOP THEM.
THEY COULD NOT AFFORD THE
ECONOMY, THEY COULD NOT AFFORD
THEIR LIVING WITHOUT THE SELLING
OF OIL AND GAS.
AND EVERY BARREL OF OIL AND
EVERY CUBIC METER OF GAS WHICH
IS NOW BOUGHT FROM RUSSIA IS
SOMETHING WHICH IS PAID BY OUR
UKRAINIAN BLOOD.
YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND THIS.
IT IS OUR UKRAINIAN BLOOD.
TOMORROW IT WILL BE BLOOD OF
OTHER NATIONS.
SO THE TOUGHEST POSSIBLE
SANCTIONS NOW.
NOT LIKE THESE OH, MAYBE
TOMORROW, ONE MORE PACKAGE WITH
THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW.
THE MOST POSSIBLE TOUGHEST
SANCTIONS NOW.
>> Shannon: WHAT IS THE
REALITY FOR YOU THERE NOW?
YOUR LOVED ONES, YOUR FAMILY,
YOUR NEIGHBORS, WHAT IS YOUR
PLAN IN KIEV?
>> I AM HERE.
I WILL FIGHT FOR MY COUNTRY.
WE WILL HAVE AN EXTRAORDINARY
GATHERING OF THE PARLIAMENT.
WE WILL PROVIDE THE MILITARY
SPACE IN THE COUNTRY.
THAT IS MY PLAN.
THAT IS WHAT I SHOULD DO AS AN
MP.
I HAVE FAMILY, I HAVE WHITE, CHILDREN
I CERTAINLY WORRY ABOUT THEM.
BUT I’M NOT ALONE.
MILLIONS OF UKRAINIANS FAMILIES
NOW.
WE WERE ALL ON THE SAME POSITION
POSITION.
THAT IS VERY WORRYING.
BUT WE ARE READY TO FIGHT.
>> Shannon: YOUR
PRESIDENT SPOKE TONIGHT NOT JUST
AT THE UKRAINIAN PEOPLE BUT ALSO
IN RUSSIAN ADDRESSING THE
RUSSIAN PEOPLE.
MAKING AN APPEAL TO THEM.
WHAT WOULD BE YOUR MESSAGE TO
THE RUSSIAN PEOPLE THIS MORNING?
>> RUSSIAN PEOPLE SHOULD STOP
THIS KILLER.
PUTIN IS KILLING THEM TOO.
AND THEY SHOULD GO TO THE
STREETS PAIRED THEY SHOULD NOT
BE AFRAID -- IT IS LIKE A HITLER
HITLER.
ONE WAS AFRAID AND THEN SECOND
AND THIRD.
YOU KNOW THE STORY.
WHEN THEY CAME FOR ONE, I WAS IN
SILENCE.
THEN WHEN THEY CAME FOR A
SECOND, I WAS IN SILENCE.
THAT IS THE SITUATION.
AND RUSSIAN SOLDIERS WILL DIE IN
UKRAINE.
AND I DON’T BELIEVE THAT RUSSIAN
MOTHERS WANT THIS TO HAPPEN.
SO I DRESS THE RUSSIAN PEOPLE TO
STOP THERE MAD DICTATOR NOW.
THEY CAN DO IT.
THEY CAN GO IN THE STREETS.
THEY CAN SHOW THAT THEY ARE
AGAINST THIS WAR.
ONE MORE VERY IMPORTANT POINT.
UKRAINE IS NOT -- ONLY NATION
WHICH GAVE UP THEIR NUCLEAR
ARSENAL.
THE THIRD BIGGEST IN 1994 WITH
GUARANTEES OF THE UNITED STATES,
UNITED KINGDOM, AND RUSSIA.
WHERE ARE THESE GUARANTEES?
AND WE ARE BOMBED AND KILLED AND
WE DON’T HAVE ANY MORE NUCLEAR
WEAPONS.
WHAT IS THE MESSAGE TO THE WORLD
NOW?
NEVER BELIEVE IN THE GUARANTEES.
JUST HAVE NUCLEAR POWER OR
WHATEVER WEAPONS YOU CAN HAVE.
THAT IS AN AWFUL MESSAGE TO THE
WORLD.
SOMETHING WHICH EVERYBODY ON THE
PLANET WILL PAY FOR.
SO THAT IS A REALLY CRUCIAL
MOMENT.
>> Shannon: YOU MENTIONED THE
POSSIBILITY OF A PARLIAMENTARY
MEETING.
WOULD THAT BE PHYSICALLY
POSSIBLE?
WHAT IS THE PLAN FOR HOLDING
TOGETHER UKRAINIAN GOVERNMENT OF
WHICH YOU WILL REMEMBER THIS
POINT?
>> I AM ENDING THE INTERVIEW AND
MOVING TO THE PARLIAMENT AND I
BELIEVE THAT WE CAN DO IT IF WE
WOULD NOT HAVE A POSSIBILITY TO
DO IT IN THE BUILDING OF THE
PARLIAMENT WE WILL GATHER IN
ANOTHER PLACE.
BECAUSE I THINK THE PARLIAMENT
SHOULD MAKE SEVERAL DECISIONS.
ABOUT FIRST OF ALL ABOUT
MILITARY STATE IN THE COUNTRY,
ADDRESSED TO THE WORLD, AND TO
SHOW UKRAINIAN SOCIETY THAT YOU
HAVE AUTHORITIES IN UKRAINE THAT
WE ARE NOT RUNNING, THAT WE ARE
NOT CAPITULATING, THAT WE ARE IN
THE PLACE.
I THINK FOR MILLIONS OF PEOPLE
IN THE UKRAINE AND OUT OF
UKRAINE, THAT IS IMPORTANT.
>> Shannon: THERE ARE SOME
REPORTS THAT PRESIDENT ZELENSKY
MAY BE INSTITUTED MARTIAL LAW
THERE IN UKRAINE.
CAN YOU SPEAK TO THAT AT ALL,
WHETHER THAT IS ACCURATE OR
WOULD HAVE MADE YOU TO IMPACT
THE SITUATION?
>> MARTIAL LAW?
OH, I’M NOT NATIVE ENGLISH
SPEAKER.
MARTIAL LAW AS A MILITARY STATE?
>> Shannon: ESSENTIALLY
APPEARED ON THE STREETS THERE.
>> YEAH, YES, YESTERDAY WE OPTED
FOR AN EXTRAORDINARY STATE IN
THE WHOLE COUNTRY.
THAT GIVES THE AUTHORITIES
SPECIAL POSSIBILITIES.
NOW WE NEED TO GO FURTHER
BECAUSE THE SITUATION, THAT IS A
BIG WORD NOW.
YESTERDAY WAS NOT, BUT TODAY IT
IS.
>> Shannon: WE HAVE BEEN
SPEAKING WITH UKRAINIAN MEMBER
OF PARLIAMENT ALEXI.
WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
THE WORLD ACROSS THE BOARD IS
CONDEMNING WHAT HAS HAPPENED
THEY ARE IN UKRAINE AND WE ARE
