>>> THIS IS ONE OF THE ROOMS
WHERE FAMILIES ARE LIVING.
MAKE SHIFT.
SET UP PADS AND MATTRESS PADS.
SENIORS, WOMEN AND CHILDREN,
INFANTS.
YOU CAN SEE THIS IS WHAT PEOPLE
ARE FACING RIGHT NOW.
>> FEEDING THEM ALL?
>> FEEDING THEM ALL.
WE HAVE TO.
>> THAT'S NKZBC NEWS'S JACOB
SOBOROFF EARLIER.
1.8 MILLION UKRAINIANS
INTERNALLY DISPLACED WITHIN
UKRAINE SINCE THE WAR STARTED.
U.N. IS WARNING FOR POTENTIAL OF
EMERGENCY LEVELS OF HUNGER AND
MALNUTRITION.
LET'S BRING IN JACOB SOBOROFF.
I SAW THE REPORTS FROM THIS
MORNING AND SOME OF THE ONLY
HAPPY PEOPLE WHO HAD JUST BEEN
FED WHO FELT LIKE THE SHELTERS
WERE PROVIDING SOMETHING MORE
THAN THE FOOD IN THEIR STOMACH
BUT A SENSE OF SECURITY WHICH IS
CLEAR IS GROWING INCREASINGLY
SCARCE THERE.
>> Reporter: YEAH.
I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYTHING
MORE ESSENTIAL THAN SOMETHING TO
EAT ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE ONE
OF THE MILLIONS AS YOU SAID
INTERNALLY DISPLACED PEOPLE IN
THIS COUNTRY.
THEY WERE WARNING BEFORE TODAY.
I WAS IN THE WORLD KITCHEN
STORAGE FACILITY AND SAYING I
CAN'T TELL YOU THE AUDIENCE
WHERE I AM BECAUSE THE PEOPLE
HERE ARE WORRIED IT WILL BE
TARGETED BY THE RUSSIANS.
IT TURNS OUT OUR COLLEAGUE
RICHARD ENGEL THAT THE RUSSIANS
TODAY BOMBED TWO SEPARATE FOOD
STORAGE FACILITIES ON THE
OUTSKIRTS OF KYIV.
THAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.
AND IT IS A DISRUPTION PERHAPS
THE MOST CRITICAL DISRUPTION TO
HUMAN LIFE THAT YOU COULD SEE
HERE BUT THERE ARE COUNTER
FORCES THAT YOU COULD SAY IN THE
BATTLE TO KEEP UKRAINIANS FED.
AND PROBABLY AT THE FOREFRONT
ARE BOTH THE WORLD WOOD PROGRAM
AND WORLD CENTRAL KITCHEN.
THE NGO BY CHEF ANDRE.
I WENT INSIDE THE EFFORT WITH
BOTH THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND
THE UKRAINIAN PARTNER HERE ON
THE GROUND AND THAT'S WHAT'S SO
ESSENTIAL HERE.
WATCH THIS.
HAVE YOU OPERATED IN A WAR ZONE
BEFORE?
>> WE VICE PRESIDENT.
WE HAVE IN HAITI AND VENEZUELA
BUT OF COURSE THIS IS A TOTALLY
DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENT.
THERE IS ALSO THE HUMAN FACTOR
OF THIS TRAGEDY THAT IS VERY
DIFFICULT BOTH FOR OUR TEAMS,
PARTNERS.
THEY ARE LIVING THROUGH THIS.
RIGHT?
THEY ARE -- THEY ARE ACTIVELY
SUFFERING RIGHT NOW.
>> WHAT'S IT BEEN?
LIKE I SAID YOUR ATTITUDE IS SO
POSITIVE.
BUT WHAT HAS IT BEEN LIKE TO SEE
YOUR COUNTRY GO THROUGH THIS?
>> IT'S DIFFICULT.
DIFFICULT PLACE.
BUT I REALLY KNOW THE UKRAINIAN
HAVE THIS SPECIAL POWER.
>> Reporter: YOU HAVE SUCH A BIG
SMILE ON YOUR FACE IN THE MIDDLE
OF A WAR.
>> THAT IS MY POWER.
>> Reporter: THE SMILE IS THE
POWER?
>> ANYWAY, YOU KNOW, WAR IS ONE
SIDE AND IF YOU ARE ALL CRYING
YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING.
WHEN OUR ENEMY WILL SEE OUR
SMILE I THINK IT'S ALSO GOOD FOR
OUR POWER, TOO.
>> WOW.
>> Reporter: THAT'S YULIA, A
UKRAINIAN PARTNER OF WORLD
KITCHEN.
SHE SAID THE FORK AND A KNIFE
ARE THE WEAPONS AGAINST THE
RUSSIANS.
WE HAVE THE AIR RAID SIRENS
EVERY DAY.
THE LAST THIS MORNING AND ONE OF
THE THINGS I WOKE UP THINKING
ABOUT TODAY IS WILL THOSE
FACILITIES BE TARGETED?
WHETHER IT IS HERE OR OTHER
CITIES IN THIS COUNTRY AND
RICHARD'S REPORTING PROVES THAT
FACT THAT THEY ARE HERE IN
UKRAINE.
>> I'M THINKING THAT THIS IS NOT
PART OF THE HUMANITARIAN CRISIS
WAR STORY.
THIS IS PUTIN'S BATTLE PLAN TO
DESTROY THE COUNTRY.
TO LITERALLY STARVE THEM.
I WONDER HOW THAT CHANGES IF
THAT SUNK IN TO FOLKS THAT YOU
MET.
>> Reporter: 100%.
WHEN OUR PRESIDENT, PRESIDENT
BIDEN, SAYS THAT VLADIMIR PUTIN
IS COMMITTING WAR CRIMES,
SECRETARY OF STATE BLINKEN SAID
THE SAME THING ON THE TAPE
EARLIER, THIS IS PART OF WHAT
THEY REFER TO.
STARVING OUT THE POPULATION.
THERE IS NO GREATER CRUELTY THAN
TAKING THE ONE THING AWAY THAT
COULD KEEP CIVILIANS ALIVE AS
THERE ARE BATTLES IN THE STREETS
IN THIS COUNTRY.
IT IS WHAT I THINK SOME OF THE
MANY, MANY INTERNALLY DISPLACED
PEOPLE I HAVE MET HERE HAVE AT
THE FOREFRONT OF THE MINDS.
SLEEPING IN TENTS AT THE TRAIN
STATION.
FIND SHELTER.
THIS EVENING I WAS AT AN
APARTMENT BUILDING WHERE SEVEN
FRIENDS FROM KYIV LIVE TOGETHER.
YOUNG PROFESSIONALS.
THOSE ARE THE QUESTIONS THAT
THEY THINK ABOUT EVERY DAY.
AM I GOING TO SURVIVE?
