DURING HER TIME IN BUCHA, SHE
SAW BODIES LYING IN THE STREET
AND A MASS GRAVE IN THE CENTER
OF TOWN.
JOINING US NOW TO DISCUSS WHAT
SHE WITNESSED AND WHAT THE
WORLD SHOULD DO ABOUT IT, IS
UKRAINIAN MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT
--
THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US
TONIGHT.
WE APPRECIATE IT.
YOU HAVE OFTEN TAKEN TIME TO BE
WITH US AND IT IS HARD AND IT
AT THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.
BUT IT IS HARDER TONIGHT,
SOMEHOW.
SOMEHOW, EVEN THOUGH YOU HAVE
BEEN OUT THERE WITH YOUR PHONE
DOCUMENTING THIS WAR SINCE THE
BEGINNING, SOMETHING MORE HAS
HAPPENED NOW.
TELL US WHAT THE WORLD SHOULD
KNOW ABOUT WHAT YOU SAW.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING
ME.
I HAVE SEEN SO MANY DEAD BODIES
TODAY.
I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE KILLED BY --
WITH HER HANDS TIED BEHIND
THEIR BACKS.
AND I TALK TO PEOPLE WHO
SURVIVED THIS.
ALL OF THIS, THEY HAVE SEEN
WITH THEIR OWN EYES.
I TALKED TO WOMEN WHO ARE RAPED
BY RUSSIANS.
WHO HAD THEIR CHILDREN --
AND THEIR CHILDREN --
HUSBANDS KILLED.
I'VE TALKED TO PEOPLE WHOSE
CHILDREN WERE DYING OF
PNEUMONIA BECAUSE THEY HAD TO
STAY IN THE BASEMENT FOR DAYS
WITHOUT ANY RAY OF LIGHT.
I HAVE TALKED TO FAMILIES WHOSE
RELATIVES DIED AND WERE BURNT
ALIVE.
WE TALK TO FAMILIES WHOSE
DAUGHTERS WERE THE ONES WHO
WERE BURNED BY RUSSIANS AND RUN
OVER --
WE HAVE SEEN SO MUCH PAIN AND
DESTRUCTION THERE THAT I CANNOT
EVEN BEGIN TO TELL YOU.
BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT WAS THAT
WE WERE ABLE TO GET
INTERNATIONAL JOURNALISTS INTO
BUCHA, SO THEY COULD FOMENT
THEMSELVES AND SHARE THE
INFORMATION TO THE WHOLE WORLD.
BECAUSE WHAT WE WITNESSED RIGHT
NOW IS --
TRYING TO SAY SOME EXTREME
THINGS THAT --
AND IT IS NOT.
WE ARE GATHERING THE EVIDENCE
BECAUSE EVERY SINGLE PERSON
WILL HAVE AND WILL BE TAKEN
ACCOUNTABLE.
THEY WILL BE PROSECUTED AND
THEY WILL BE HELD TO JUSTICE.
I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE WHOSE HOUSES
WERE DESTROYED TO THE GROUND
AND THE --
THE MOST HEARTBREAKING PIECE
WAS THE HOUSES THAT BURNED DOWN
AND ONLY DEFENSE STAYING UP AND
ON THAT FENCE WAS A SIGN,
WRITTEN BY HAND, PUT INTO A
PLASTIC FILE AND TIED TO THE
FANS WITH TAPE, AND IT WAS
SAYING ON THE SIGN, WE ARE
PEACEFUL PEOPLE.
SO, PEOPLE WROTE AND HOPED THAT
RUSSIANS WOULD AVOID DEATH, BUT
THEY DID NOT.
THEY WERE IN FACT PEACEFUL
PEOPLE.
THEY WERE NOT EVEN RESISTANT.
THEY DID NOT HAVE ARMS.
THEY JUST WANTED TO SURVIVE AND
THEY DID NOT.
AND FOR THAT, WE WILL DEMAND
JUSTICE.
WE WILL NEVER FORGET THEM, WE
WILL NEVER FORGIVE.
THERE WILL BE TRIALS.
THERE WILL BE SOLDIERS --
THEY WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.
EVERY SINGLE WORLD LEADER --
IF THEY ARE DOING ENOUGH.
BECAUSE WE THINK THEY ARE NOT
DOING IT.
RIGHT NOW AT THE SAME TIME THAT
WE ARE TALKING, THERE ARE
PEOPLE IN BASEMENTS BEING
KILLED WITH OUR HANDS BEHIND
OUR BACKS.
THERE ARE PEOPLE BEING --
BECAUSE THERE ARE PLACES THAT
ARE OCCUPIED BY RUSSIANS STILL.
AND WE ARE NOT GETTING THE
WEAPONS THAT WE NEED TO GET.
BECAUSE ON THE DAY --
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE SAME
THINGS THAT WE NEED ON DAY ONE.
BECAUSE RIGHT NOW, ON THE DAY
40, THERE ARE STILL --
THEY ARE BASICALLY SPONSORING
THOSE --
THAT IS HAPPENING TO MY PEOPLE.
BECAUSE RIGHT NOW, THERE ARE
STILL COUNTRIES WHO ARE
HESITATING ABOUT HELPING OR
NOT.
AND I CAN TELL YOU, THIS IS
HAPPENING RIGHT NOW AND --
I WANT YOU TO SEE THIS BECAUSE
THIS IS HAPPENING IN MY
COUNTRY.
THIS IS PURE GENOCIDE.
AND WE DO NEED HELP TO STOP
THIS, WE NEED HELP TO WIN THIS
WAR, WE NEED THE WORLD TO STOP
HESITATING, TO STOP THINKING
AND START ACTING.
START BECAUSE THIS NEEDS TO
STOP.
>> WHEN YOU SAY START ACTING,
THERE ARE PEOPLE CONCERNED THAT
ANYTHING THAT FEELS LIKE DIRECT
MILITARY INTEREST PREVENTION
INCLUDING NO FLY ZONES OR
WESTERN NATO TROOPS IN UKRAINE
WILL BE AN ESCALATION THAT
COULD RESULT IN NUCLEAR WAR.
WHAT DO YOU TELL THOSE PEOPLE?
>> WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR
TROOPS.
THERE ARE RUSSIANS ON THE
GROUND --
WE DO NEED WEAPONS AND WE DO
NEED SANCTIONS AND --
ON RUSSIAN GAS AND OIL.
WE DO NEED WEAPONS TO FIGHT IN
THE AIR BECAUSE WE HAVE
CHILDREN --
WE ARE SHOWING WHAT HAPPENS TO
THEIR HOUSES AND THE CITIES.
--
WE NEED WEAPONS TO PROTECT OUR
SKIES.
WE WILL PROTECT THEM OURSELVES.
BUT PLEASE GIVE US THESE
WEAPONS.
SELL THEM TO US FOR $1.
WE NEED THEM.
OTHERWISE, WE WILL BE --
WE WILL STILL DESTROY IT FROM
THE AIR.
THE SECOND THING THAT NEEDS TO
HAPPEN IS ABSOLUTE BAN ON
RUSSIAN GAS AND OIL.
EVERY SINGLE DOLLAR THAT IS
GETTING INTO RUSSIA IS BEING
USED TO CREATE THIS TERROR IN
UKRAINE.
EVERY SINGLE DOLLAR THAT IS
COMING FROM BUSINESSES IS BEING
USED TO --
TO KILL CHILDREN HERE, TO KILL
INNOCENT PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T DO
ANYTHING WRONG.
THEY JUST EXIST AND MAKE
PRUDENT HATE US FOR THAT.
THIS IS GENOCIDE AND IT IS
HAPPENING IN THE 21ST CENTURY
AND THE WORLD IS SAYING NEVER
AGAIN.
I'M CALLING RIGHT NOW FOR
EVERYBODY WHO WAS SAYING NEVER AGAIN TO ACT ON IT RIGHT NOW.
AGAIN TO ACT ON IT RIGHT NOW.
>> WE HAVE BEEN SPEAKING FOR A
LONG TIME AND YOU HAVE HAD
GREAT FORCE IN YOUR ARGUMENTS
AND YOU ARE VIDEOS AND THE FACT
THAT YOU HAVE LEARNED TO USE
AKON THAT YOU HAD NEVER DONE
BEFORE.
SOMETHING IS DIFFERENT TONIGHT.
SOMETHING IS DIFFERENT IN YOUR
VOICE AND IT MATTERS THAT --
WE ARE THANKFUL TO YOU THAT YOU
HAVE TAKEN THE TIME TO SHARE
THAT WITH US TONIGHT.
AS HORRIBLE AS IT IS.
