Amanpour and Company

>> CAN I START WITH UKRAINE?

YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE.

MIKE PENCE, AS WELL, OF THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES AND HAVE THAT BEEN THERE TO SHOW INTEREST IN SOLIDARITY, WITH THE FIGHT THAT AMERICANS ARE HELPING THEM WAGE.

HOW DID THAT AFFECT YOU?

>> IT IS AN INCREDIBLE, EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCE.

WHEN YOU GO THERE, AND YOU SEE THE CRUELTY, AND THE BARBARISM THAT WAS EXECUTED BY THE RUSSIAN ARMY, IT IS REALLY BREATHTAKING.

STORIES OF CIVILIANS AND MEN, BEING PULLED OUT OF THEIR HOMES BY RUSSIAN ARMY.

THEIR EYES HAVE BEEN GAPS OUT.

THEIR EARS HAVE BEEN CUT OFF.

THEY HAVE BEEN MURDERED EXECUTION STYLE IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD, AND THEN GOING INTO HOMES, AND GOING TO THE ACTIVE RAPE, ON WOMEN.

I WENT TO THE CATHEDRAL WHERE THE MEMORIAL NOW SITS.

THE CHURCH WAS ALSO RANSACKED.

YOU TALK ABOUT THE TOLL ON THE CHILDREN.

IT WAS VERIFIED NOW, THAT NEARLY 25,000 CHILDREN WERE KIDNAPPED BY THE RUSSIAN ARMY.

THEY WERE DIFFERENT TO THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION.

THE MOTHERS AND FATHERS IN UKRAINE, DON'T KNOW WHETHER THEIR CHILDREN ARE DEAD OR ALIVE, WHETHER THEY ARE BEING CARED FOR OR ABUSED.

THEY THINK THE WORST.

I HAVE MET WITH SOME OF THOSE PARENTS.

I CAN TELL YOU AS A DAD, AND FOR MYSELF, I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY PUT ONE FOOT IN FRONT OF THE OTHER WITH THAT CONSTANT WORRY.

THE END OF THAT, AS I SAT THERE, I FELT TO MYSELF, THIS IS THE BARBARISM THAT IS BEING PUTIN.

THIS IS THE GUY THAT DONALD TRUMP, CALLS A GREAT LEADER, AND BRILLIANT.

IT IS UNACCEPTABLE.

>> I WAS GOING TO ASK YOU, WHAT WOULD IT MEAN IF DONALD TRUMP, WON THE PRESIDENCY AGAIN?

OR WOULD IT MEAN FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BATTLE IN UKRAINE?

>> HE HAS SAID INCREDIBLY, THAT HE WOULD SETTLE THE METAL IN 24 HOURS.

HE WAS GOING TO GET THE WALL BUILT ON THE BORDER OF MEXICO.

HE GOT 52 MILES OF WALL, AND IS NOT ONE PESO FROM MEXICO.

I WILL GIVE HIM THAT MUCH CREDIBILITY.

OR I WORRY ABOUT, IS THAT HE WOULD TURN UKRAINE OVER TO RUSSIA.

HE WOULD WITHDRAW ALL OF THE >>> MOST PEOPLE DON'T KNOW IN ARTILLERY ALONE, RUSSIA IS SHELLS INTO UKRAINE.

UKRAINE IS ABLE TO RESPOND WITH ONLY 6000.

THE PESSIMISM THAT IS BEING SHOWN BY SOME WESTERN OFFICIALS, I BELIEVE, IS BASED UPON TWO BAD PREMISES.

ONE, THEY ARE ILL-INFORMED ABOUT HOW OUTGUNNED WE ARE ALLOWING THE UKRAINIANS TO BE.

TWO, THEY HAVEN'T LOOKED IN THE EYES OF THE UKRAINIAN PEOPLE, AND PRESIDENT VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY, LIKE I HAVE.

WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS ARM THEM TO WIN.

GIVE THEM GREATER ARTILLERY.

GIVE THEM GREATER ANTITANK AND ANTIAIRCRAFT MISSILES.

GIVE THEM F-16s.

IF WE DO THAT, I BELIEVE THE UKRAINIANS CAN WIN THE WAR.

THAT WILL BE A MAJOR WIN FOR THE WEST.

IT WILL BE A HUGE MISCALCULATION BY VLADIMIR PUTIN.
