PARLIAMENT WHO IS ALSO AN

WHERE TO BEGIN?
I'LL START WITH YOU.
WHAT WE'RE SEEING OUT OF
MARIUPOL, THE IDEA THAT
HOSPITALS WHERE CHILDREN AND
PREGNANT WOMEN WERE BEING
TREATED ARE BEING BOMBED,
APARTMENT BUILDINGS BEING
LEVELLED, WHAT DOE YOU MAKE OF
THE RUSSIANS OR THE KREMLIN I
SHOULD SAY CONTINUING TO DENY
THAT THEY'RE HITTING CIVILIAN
BUILDINGS AND HOSPITALS, ET
CETERA?
>> YOU KNOW, I WOULD START
REPHRASING YOUR QUESTION AS IT'S
NOT WHETHER WE EXPECTED THIS
FROM PUTIN.
THE QUESTION IS HOW LONG DO THE WESTERN THIS EXECUTION OF
WESTERN THIS EXECUTION OF
UKRAINIANS THE AIR DEFENSE
CONTINUE UNTIL HE GET ALL OF THE
UKRAINIANS AND HE HAS BEEN
TALKING ABOUT THE UKRAINIAN
NATION WHICH MEANS NAZIS IN
UKRAINE AND THEY'RE ALL DEAD.
THESE ARE WAR CRIMES THAT HE'S
COMMITTED IN THE CENTER OF
EUROPE AND IF YOU DON'T GET THE
PROTECTION OF OUR SKY, THERE IS NO AT LEAST HUMANITARIAN HORN
NO AT LEAST HUMANITARIAN HORN
DOOR TO PROTECT THESE PEOPLE,
BEING SHELLED IS GOING TO
CONTINUE AND YOU HAVE TO
UNDERSTAND HE'S NOW USING THE
CIVILIAN POPULATION AS A HUMAN
SHIELD FOR HIS ARMY BECAUSE HE
KNOWS IF HE DOESN'T LET THESE
PEOPLE OUT OF THE CITIES AND
UKRAINE TRIES TO EVACUATE PEOPLE
FROM OTHER CITIES, THIS WILL BE
A HUMAN SHIELD FOR HIS ARMY THAT
WILL CONTINUE THIS 24/7 ON THE
TV.

COMPETING IN WRESTLING AND
WINNING MEDALS.
I BELIEVE YOU WON A GOLD.
THERE YOU ARE.
THERE IS A PICTURE OF YOU, AND
WHAT A CHANGE TO YOUR LIFE NOW.
TALK TO US ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE
EXPERIENCING AND WHAT YOU WOULD
WANT TO SAY TO THE U.S.
ADMINISTRATION, VICE PRESIDENT
KAMALA HARRIS IS TRAVELING IN
THE REGION TO TALK TO REGIONAL
LEADERS.
WHAT WOULD YOU WANT TO SAY TO
U.S. OFFICIALS RIGHT NOW THAT
THEY HAVE ESSENTIALLY SAID THEY'RE NOT IN FAVOR OF
THEY'RE NOT IN FAVOR OF TRANSFERRING THESE FIGHTER JETS?
TRANSFERRING THESE FIGHTER JETS?
>> YES, WE NEED TO HELP, WE NEED
TO DO SOMETHING.
ACROSS EVERY DAY BOMB OUR
CITIES.
YOU SEE THESE PICTURES AND YOU
MUST UNDERSTAND THEY KILL US
EVERY DAY.
THEY DESTROY OUR INFRASTRUCTURE.
THEY KILL OUR CHILDREN.
THEY KILL OUR CITIZEN.
THAT'S WHY WE NEED TO PROTECT
US.
WE DO EVERYTHING FOR PROTECTION BUT WE NEED TO HELP FROM NATO,
BUT WE NEED TO HELP FROM NATO,
FROM U.S., FROM EUROPE AND
BECAUSE IT'S TIME.
I WIN A GOLD MEDAL THIS LAST SUMMER BUT NOW I THINK ABOUT FOR
SUMMER BUT NOW I THINK ABOUT FOR
KEEP MY COUNTRY AND PROTECT OUR
CIVILIZATION, OUR NATION BECAUSE
RUSSIAN ARE GOING TO KILL US.
PUTIN CRAZY.
I DON'T KNOW HOW I CAN DESCRIBE
THE SITUATION.
>> AND TO STAY WITH YOU FOR A
MOMENT, I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE
DON'T REALIZE THERE IS A LOT OF
DIVERSITY INSIDE UKRAINE.
MAYBE NOT AS MUCH AS WE HAVE IN
THE UNITED STATES BUT THE FACT
THAT YOU ARE THERE, WHAT DO YOU
MAKE OF THE STORIES OF THE
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE WAY
PEOPLE ARE BEING TREATED AT THE
BORDERS TRYING TO ESCAPE?
HAVE YOU HEARD ANY FEEDBACK
PEOPLE ARE BEING TREATED
DIFFERENTLY WHEN THEY TRY TO
FLEA BASED ON THE COLOR OF THEIR
SKIN?
>> I DON'T KNOW THE SITUATION
BUT I'M MEMBER OF UKRAINIAN AND
TO KNOW RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA DO
EVERYTHING ABOUT -- ABOUT GUILTY
OUR COUNTRY IN RACISM, IT'S NOT
TRUE BECAUSE I'M A UKRAINE DOING EVERYTHING FOR MY LIFE AND I
EVERYTHING FOR MY LIFE AND I KNOW UKRAINIAN IS COUNTRY AND WE
KNOW UKRAINIAN IS COUNTRY AND WE
DON'T SUPPORT IT.
THAT'S WHY NOW IT'S TERRIBLE TIME, NOW IT'S A LOT OF PROBLEM
TIME, NOW IT'S A LOT OF PROBLEM
AND I KNOW THIS SITUATION WITH AFRICAN CITIZENS, I KNOW THIS
AFRICAN CITIZENS, I KNOW THIS
BUT IT'S -- WE NEED TO -- SORRY,
MIND IS NOT SO GOOD.
>> THAT'S OKAY.
>> I DO MY BEST FOR THIS
SITUATION, YES.
AND BUT RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA WORKS
VERY GOOD AND SHOW IT'S NOT TRUE
ABOUT UKRAINE A LOT, YOU KNOW?
>> YEAH.
>> THAT'S WHY WE NEED TO HELP
FROM U.S. AND NEED TO STOP THIS
GUY WITH UKRAINE BECAUSE IT'S A
REALLY
REALLY BIG PROBLEM TO US.
EVERY TIME THE CITY BOMB FROM
THE SKY AND OUR CHILDREN, OUR
CITIZENS KILLS EVERY DAY, EVERY
HOUR, YOU KNOW?
>> INDEED.
YOUR ENGLISH IS BETTER THAN MY
UKRAINIAN SO YOU'RE DOING FAR
BETTER THAN I AM WITH THIS.
I WILL ASK YOU ABOUT THIS
REFUGEE CREATE SIS.ISIS.
WE HAVE NOW -- AT LEAST THE
LATEST NUMBERS ARE LOW, 2
MILLION UKRAINIANS ON THE MOVE
INTERNALLY DISPLACED OR
EXTERNALLY DISPLACED.
JUST AS SOMEBODY THAT'S A MEMBER
OF THE GOVERNMENT THERE, HOW
HELPFUL HAVE NEIGHBORING
COUNTRIES BEEN IN TERMS OF WHERE
PEOPLE ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO
STAY BECAUSE WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT
REFUGEE CRISIS IN THE PAST IS
PEOPLE CAN'T TURN AROUND AND GO
HOME ANY TIME SOON.
WE DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THIS IS
GOING TO LAST.
WHAT PROVISIONS ARE THERE FOR
UKRAINIANS BEING FORCED TO LEAVE
UKRAINE INTO NEIGHBORING
COUNTRIES?
ARE YOU CONFIDENT THEY'RE GOING
TO BE OKAY, THAT THEY'RE GOING
TO HAVE ENOUGH RESOURCES, THAT
THEY'RE GOING TO BE WELL TAKEN
CARE OF?
GIVE US SORT OF THE LATEST IN
TERMS OF THE REFUGEE CRISIS.
>> UNDERSTAND THE MAJORITY OF
THESE PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY,
WE'RE TALKING MAINLY ABOUT
CHILDREN AND WOMEN BECAUSE MEN
BETWEEN 18 AND 60 ARE NOT
ALLOWED BECAUSE OF THE MARTIAL
LAW.
THESE PEOPLE ARE LOSING THEIR
HOUSES AND HOMES BECAUSE WE HAVE
OUR CITIES SHELLED AND BOMBED
AND UNFORTUNATELY, WE UNDERSTAND
THAT THIS LOOKS LIKE IT'S GOING
TO BE A LONG PROCESS.
NOT GOING TO BE FOR A WEEK AS WE
HOPED FOR A MONTH.
A LOT OF THESE PEOPLE ARE
DREAMING ABOUT COMING BACK HOME
BECAUSE TO BE A REFUGEE FOR THE
REST OF YOUR LIFE OR EVEN FOR
YEARS HAVING A SMALL KID WITH NO
PLACE TO STAY, IT'S UNBELIEVABLE
RIGHT NOW HERE IN 21st CENTURY
IN THE CENTER OF EUROPE.
SO WE HAD, LIKE, LET'S SAY OUR
NEIGHBORING COUNTRIES HAVE BEEN
VERY HELPFUL, ESPECIALLY POLAND,
SLOVAKIA AND ROMANIA ACCEPTING
THESE PEOPLE.
THEY HAVE SUPPORT AND FOOD.
YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THIS IS A
SHORT TERM SOLUTION.
WE CANNOT JUST REALLOCATE
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE TO SOLVE THIS
ISSUE.
WE SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT WE
JUST -- IF WE PROTECTION OF OUR
SKY AND PROVIDE UKRAINE WITH
MORE WEAPONS, WE CAN GET THESE
PEOPLE BACK TO THEIR HOUSES.
WE JUST NEED TO KICK PUTIN'S
[ BLEEP ] SORRY OUT OF UKRAINE
TO GET HIS [ BLEEP ] OUT AND IF
WE DID THAT THESE PEOPLE WOULD
BE WHOLE AND SAFE THERE AND
THAT'S WHY I SAY IF WE DO NOT WANT HUMANITARIAN CRISIS, WE
WANT HUMANITARIAN CRISIS, WE
NEED TO FROM TECTPROTECT THEM.
