i think i just took the money. >> i think that i understand. >> i asked you a series of ques questions yesterday about a client and asked you about looking at tony satterfield and looking him in the eye. >> i remember looking at tony satterfield and lying to him and looking at him in the eye. >> and lying to him? >> yeah. >> and lying to his family? >> i lied to his family. i don't know if i did it in person. but i know that i had phone conversations with them where i lied to them.

>> okay. let's talk about the pills. so you were able to function as a lawyer despite using pills. >> yes, sir. >> and you were able of course during this period of time to engage in these relatively complicated thefts that increase over the years that we have talked about, despite the pill usage, is that correct? >> i was. >> hmm? >> i was. >> all right. >> and you were able to convince the staff that nothing was amiss during this time that nothing was amiss during this time?

while you were on the pill usage? >> my staff -- again, so we are on the same page, i acknowledge that i certainly allowed them to be misled. i certainly allowed them to do things that i shouldn't have done on my behalf knowing that they trusted me. >> how many pills were you using a day? >> it depends upon a number of items and most importantly, how strong the pill was. >> okay. let's talk about maybe start in january of 2021 and move forward. can you describe to the jury what the daily pill intake was like? >> i think that at that time mostly what i was purchasing was 30 milligram pills. instant release oxycodone.

probably mixed in with some oxycontin which is made of oxycodone and it is time release. i would have been taking, umm, anywhere from 1,500 milligrams maybe to maybe 1,000, maybe 1,000 milligrams or 1,200 milligrams on a day i didn't take as much or didn't have as much up to, i mean, there are days, many days a lot of days, most days or more than that and

many days would be, you know, 20, more than 2,000 milligrams a day. >> how many pills is that? >> it depends upon the strength. >> well, say it is the 30s that you mentioned. >> if i took 30 -- if i had 30 milligram pills, you figure 100 pills would be 3,000 milligrams. >> 100? >> 100. >> so you are taking 60 a day or something like that? >> there were days that i took more than that and days they took less than that. >> and how would you take them in the course of the day? i mean, how many are you taking at one time or frequent in this time period of january to june? >> you know, there is a point in time and i'm not sure when it was, but it is well before that, and you have to understand this. this is something that i

didn't -- i can still remember the first time i ever took an oxycontin. >> mr. murdaugh, if you will answer my question, and then you can explain all you want. if you will tell me how many you were taking from january to june, and then you can explain. >> i am not positive, because over the years and as i was saying from the over the years one oxycontin literally made me sick. and that is when i was transitioning from hydrocodone to oxycodone and made me sick, because it was a really, really strong. and one oxycontin pill is like 10 hydrocodone pills. but anyway, as i took more and more and over the years, it just, you know, you build up a tolerance to pain pills, and so, what might give me this energy -- and the reason, and one of the reasons i became so

addicted is because some people talk about pain pils make them lethargic and where they can't do anything, and they feel -- opiates gave me energy. whatever i was doing, it made it more interesting. you know, it made me want to do it longer, you know, to go on a drive and it made driving, and it just, the beginning it made everything better. but i took so much just to keep -- and it was to the point that i was taking so much just to not backslide or go into withdrawals or have all of those symptoms, and so it got to the point where i was taking the amounts that i came to be taking in the time period that you are taking about from january to

june, so it evolved over time. it was not like it just started there, mr. waters. >> all right. one example of a day in that time period. >> sure. >> can you start at 8:00 in the morning or whatever time you got up, and then take one and then one every 30 minutes. i am giving you a chance to explain -- so be specific. >> it would totally depend upon any number of circumstances. so starting a day, one of the main things this would depend on is how late the day before i had taken pills and how many i had taken. and did i take them in the night. did i wake up in the night and take them. and so, let's just say it had been a while since i took any. and i slept and i woke up. all right. then i would immediately, immediately first thing take

pills, because it had been a while. and a lot times, if you slept and hadn't taken pills, you wake up, yo could tell the beginnings of those, i won't say they were really withdrawals but the agitation that you feel when you don't take it, and you could tell it, so you had to take it right away. and i would start off first thing i would do is to take pil pills. >> that is how strong the withdrawals are for opiates is that you feel that agitation until you can take another pill? >> yes. and i mean, that is just agitation is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to opiate withdrawals. >> i think that you said in what has been played for the jury and

the telephone conversation with special agent kelly that, and you talked about withdrawals just how strong they are, how you are willing to do anything to make them stop, correct? >> i think that what i said is almost anything. >> almost anything. well, describe that? >> i mean you are sick. you are physically, and i mean, you physically sick. you -- it is like having the flu when you ache and your joints hurt. you don't want to get up. you can't get up. and that after, that is after a while. that is agitation and fidgety and people are talking about how fidgety i was. but it starts with that and then it goes to, you know, you just might be sitting here and all of

the sudden sweat is running down your face all over your body. and like you ran a marathon and you literally sweat that much. the next thing that comes on after about, i don't know about 12 hours is i call it jumpy legs, but i mean, you literally, there's no way that you could sit right here in this chair. you couldn't, you could not remain sitting, and you would have to get up and move around and it is like your legs don't want to work. that lasts for about 20 or anywhere from 18 to 24 hours. during that period, you know, the intestinal issues come in. i mean, you literally, you can't control yourself.

you have diarrhea like you have food poisoning. you throw up. i mean, you are physically, physically sick. >> how many times did you try to self-detox? >> mr. waters, dozens. dozens. if not hundreds. you know, it is so many that i can't tell you. >> and the symptoms that you just described are extremely powerful and made it very difficult to do that, is that correct? >> made it difficult -- >> to self-detox. >> oh, it is extremely hard. >> you mentioned yesterday that you were paranoid. how long had that been going on? >> well, no, i didn't say that i

was paranoid. what i said was as the addiction evolved there would be situations where you would have these paranoid thoughts. >> and when did those first start? >> i can't tell you when they first started. >> how long before june of 2021, a week, a month, a long time? >> no, no. it was, you know, it was as my addiction got worse, i mean, it was a significant period of time. but you know -- >> how long would you have these paranoid thoughts? >> usually a matter of seconds. it was something, again, my whole life -- you would not see me where i did not have pills on me. that is where i kept them, because i had them on me, and that is for fear that somebody would find them. so if you saw me, i had pills on

me, and i had a pocketful of pills on june 8th, and on june 8th when i was sitting in david owen's patrol car. so, i always had them on me, and i might turn, and i might be going to eddistote and turn on the street, and i had paranoid thoughts. you know, it just -- but i could always say, you are not doing anything wrong, and he is not following you. i could get past it in a matter of seconds.

>> did anybody in your family ever see you having these severe withdrawals? >> mags, paw-paw, bus, my dad, randy, joe marvin. and just to be clear, randy and john marvin never saw me having withdrawals before september. >> i thank you for clarifying that. prior to 2021, who in your family saw you having severe withdrawals. >> paw-paw, bus, maggie, my dad. >> okay. do you remember in calling,

remember calling paul a little detective? >> i don't know that i ever called him a little detective, but i think that maggie did. i may have. paul was very intuitive, so, i heard -- >> in some of the interviews? >> i heard merion call him that, and maggie used to call him that. >> did that have anything to do with the pills? >> well -- yeah, it had something to do with it, but i mean, paul was always that way, but that, what led him to be called a little detective, certainly there were times when paul found pills. >> including a month before the murders, is that correct? >> no, sir. >> to you recall 6/5/23 which is entered into evidence a text

from paul to you. >> i do. >> and you said that maggie found pills in your bag. >> right. >> tell me about what happened after that. >> you asked me about paul finding them, but it is maggie that found them. >> fair enough. so it is maggie that found them, but it is paul who reached out to you, correct? >> yes, sir. on that occasion, yes, sir. >> all right. what was the discussion after that? >> i can't remember exactly what it was, but it was about that i had had eye surgery, i don't know what day it was, but days before that, the day that maggie found them, and she drove me to the doctor for me to have my cataract removed, whatever, they call that surgery, and i can't remember, but i had the cataract in and for outpatient and you go

in for a couple of hours and it is during covid, and maggie was not allowed to come into the doctor's office and so she sat in the car and i had left pills in the computer bag and sitting out there bored, i guess she started to look at my computer and found them in the computer bag. so she found those pills. >> all right. and so, she obviously told paul, and paul texted you, correct? about finding those pills. >> that is correct. >> in may of 2021. >> that is correct. >> and you heard your sister-in-law marian testify that she called him the little testify about finding the pills. >> i did hear that. >> she testified about that in the courtroom. >> correct. >> and they started to watch you like a hawk and get on you about the pill usage in the month of may? >> no. >> they did not?

>> no. mr. waters, this battle i had with addiction had been going on for years. years. and so s, they had been watchin me like a hawk for years, years. may is just one occurrence when i had let them down again. >> so they had been watching you like a hawk for years, is that correct? >> about my pill addiction, yes, sir, that is correct. >> in this time in may, that wasn't the only time that paul found pills or maggie found

pills, is that correct? >> no, there were a number of times where mags found pills, paw-paw found pills, bus found pills. i mean, it was an ongoing, it was just an ongoing battle for me. >> after they found those pills in may, that being maggie and paul, were they are trying to get you to self-detox? >> no, sir, not at that point in time. >> they just let it go? >> no, they didn't let it go, but at that point in time, paw-paw and i had already had a discussion based on -- i can't remember exactly when it was, but there have been previous occasion a good while back w

where -- there had been a previous occasion where either maggie or paul had found pill, and paul had come to me and asked me, and i had told him, you know, that i was back on the pills. umm, and, whew. and -- >> when was this occasion? >> we had had a long talk and i don't remember exactly when it was, but paul and i had had a

long talk and we had agreed and i had agreed and i detoxed so many times, and i had been to detox, and i detoxed at home with maggie's help, and i detoxed at home with doctor's help, and i detoxed at home and tried to, and it just detoxing just didn't work. you couldn't -- you could detox, but you couldn't -- not you, but i couldn't, i couldn't stay off of them. and so, i promised paul that as soon, as soon as we finished with his criminal case that i

would go to rehab. and umm, and on this particular occasion, umm, paul knew that his mom worried about me so much with pills that on this particular occasion, i think that paw-paw convinced maggie that i got those pills in anticipation of the eye surgery but that i never took them so that she would not worry that i was once again --

>> now you are claiming that about that time in may that paul talked to maggie and convinced her of that in that time in may. >> well, that is not what i am claiming, but what happened. >> and what you just said. >> mr. waters, you are making issue of being the first time you hearing these things. when i first got arrested, i reached out to you to try to tell you all of the things that i had done to give you all of the details to help you go through all of the financial thing, and up until the time that y'all charged with me with murdering my wife and child, you would never give jim griffin a response to our invitations to sit down and meet with you. >> so you are telling me that i never responded to jim griffin, is that what you are saying to

here today? are you saying that you have never reached out to your attorneys or anyone in prosecution and never told them the story about the kennels -- answer my question first -- did you ever reach out to anyone in law enforcement or the prosecution and tell that story that you told this jury yesterday about the kennels before yesterday? >> did i ever reach out to law enforcement to say that i want to tell you about the kennels? no, sir, i did not. >> this is the fifth amendment line. >> this question about him volunteering information violates the fifth amendment line, and anymore i would have to make a motion. >> he brought it up, your honor. >> the objection is overruled. >> what i did was so -- >> answer my question first. >> your honor, he did not -- and he is talking about financial statements.

>> sit down, mr. griffin. >> yes or no question. before yesterday, did you ever bring up what you told this jury about that kennels to anybody in the prosecution or anybody in law enforcement? >> no, i didn't have the opportunity to, mr. waters the, because you would not respond to my invitations to reach out and tell you about all of the things that i had done wrong. and to talk about bringing this to a head, to talk about bringing this to a conclusion. i understand how many people i hurt. i understand, umm, how angry my partners are and how hurt they are. i understand how hurt these people are that i stole money from are, and i understand how hurt they are, and one of the things that i believe is that

getting past this may help them get some closure, and so, since at least january, i have been trying to sit down with y'all to talk to y'all. >> okay. >> and never, never, ever got a response to the multiple requests. >> multiple requests. >> yes, sir. multiple requests, and i would ask about this every few weeks. >> sir -- >> sir? >> did mark ball ever hear your story to the jury about the kennels until yesterday? your buddy and law partner mark ball? >> i have not spoken to mark ball since i went to rehab. >> and these were the same law partners that you were listening to the night of, is that what you testified to this jury earlier? you testified to that earlier, did you not? >> i don't understand the question. >> didn't you testify earlier that you were listening to the law partners on the night of the

incident? >> was i listening to them? >> yeah, you testified to them. it is a simple question, sir? >> i am sure i was. when are you talking about? >> june 8th in the early morning hours, and you never told them the kennel story either, and they heard it for the first time yesterday, too. isn't that correct? >> yes, it is the first time they have heard it -- >> the first time that ronnie crosby heard it was yesterday? >> if he was listening, yes. >> and the first time that johnny carpenter heard it was yesterday? >> yes. >> and the first time that danny henderson who was representing you in the boat case would have heard it was yesterday? >> yes, yesterday is the first time that i have said that openly. but that is not what you were asking me, mr. waters. you go ahead. >> first time that your brother randy heard that was yesterday? >> if he was listening.

and mr. waters, to be clear, i was begging with a meeting to y'all to bring this to a close to talk to you ant everything up until the time that you charged me with hurting maggie and paul, and now after that point in time, i stopped obviously. >> you claimed that you were begging for a meeting and, but you admit that information was never conveyed that you wanted to change your story after multiple interviews with law enforcement about what happened that night, including the most important fact of all which is when is the last time that you supposedly saw your wife and son alive was? >> i don't know exactly what was conveyed or not, because to you,

because i was not part of that. all i know is -- >> fair enough. >> but all i was trying to do was to sit down -- i understood to bring all of this to a close that y'all would want me to sit down and go through all of these financial things, all of these things ts that i had done wrond to try to bring it to a close, i would repeatedly trying to sit down with y'all. >> the reality, mr. murdaugh, the reason that nobody has ever heard that before, is because you had to sit in this courtroom and hear your family and friends and one in after another to testify that you were on that kennel video, and you, like you have done over the course of your life had to back up and kind of fit with the facts that cannot be denied, isn't that true, sir? >> no, sir. that is not true. >> okay. you have done it over and over again with all of this that we have been talking about, haven't you? >> i have done what over and over again? >> the second that you are

confronted with facts that you cannot deny, you immediately come up with a new lie. isn't that correct? >> mr. waters, as we have established, i have lied many times, but i can't sit here to tell you about facts that i cannot deny? i would disagree with that proposition that you are putting out that is what i did all of the time. but in doing that, i admit again that i have lied to people that trusted me. >> so, we can agree that the prosecution and law enforcement and so many of your friends and family heard for the first time your story about the kennels yesterday after all of these weeks of testimony. can we agree on that? >> the law enforcement, my

partners and my friends heard me say that for first time, yes, i agree with that. >> would you agree with me that your own lawyer was repeating your story that you were at home napping as late as november of 2022 on national television? >> i don't know. >> you don't know that? >> no, in jail, we don't get newspapers, and the tv that we have is limited.

>> so your own lawyers as late as november of 2022 didn't know this story that you have told this jury after five weeks of the testimony saying that you told this -- >> that is attorney/client privilege. >> no, he brought it up. >> there is no attorney/client privilege to national television interviews. the objection is overruled. >> are you waiting for me to

answer, mr. waters? >> no, the point is made. >> yes, sir. >> you said that you were unaware of that national television interview, is that what you said? >> unaware of what national television interview? >> the one where your lawyer repeated that story that you were actually at home asleep at the house? >> the only national tv ad that i am aware of is, not ad, but program is one that mr. griffin was involved in was a -- are you referring to like a "dateline" something? >> i'm talking about hbo. >> hbo, so, yes, i am aware of that, and what i believe the case to be is that i believe that when it was in the works that mr. griffin made those statements some time substantially before november of

'22 and as early as around the very beginning of 2021. >> let's talk -- >> at least what i understand to be the case. >> let's talk some more about your testimony yesterday. and you are telling the jury with something as clear as this kennel video, and when you have to change them to fit the facts that can no longer be denied. >> i don't understand that question. say it again. >> i am saying that you are telling this jury that you don't change your story to make the facts fit evidence that you can no lodger deny like what has been going on in this courtroom. >> i am not telling the jury anything about that. >> all right. good. let's move on and talk more about that issue. let's talk about the

confrontation on june 7th -- we are going to break away from murdaugh's trial for a moment and going to the ukrainian president speaking on the one-year anniversary of the full scale invasion of his country and speaking to the reporters there. we will listen in. >> translator: today, there have been many introductions, many thanks. the main thing is to thank you, members of the media, journalists. you know, i think it is very important what you have been doing this, for a year. our invincible ukrainian journalists, i want to thank them all, because it is a great power what you have done for strengthening our states. everyone has fought. the defenders have fought, and the whole ukrainian people, and you, you are all an army and

also our friends, our partners in the west. i am sure that you know what you have done for us. i think that on victory day, the feeling will come, and i bow deeply to you for what you have been saying about ukraine and that the world is not forgetting ukraine and is helping us. helping us to be invincible. february is a month of invincibility and a year of invincibility. i thank you all, and i want to thank your colleagues who unfortunately are not with us anymore. they died in ukraine and they

have been such people, your colleagues, such members of your important profession, and it would be fair to honor the journalists with a minute of silence, those who will be in our memory. it is important to us, and it is important for them. thank you. i think that we can start without further ado. we can talk. okay. let's talk starting. please remember to raise your flags and introduce yourselves.

christiane, please, cnn. >> mr. president, thank you for taking my question. mr. president, in terms of the time frame, it has been a year, and you ask, you told your armed for forces -- >> translator: thank you for the question indeed, and i want to very much if each partner and we are in our country, if we stay as one fist, as one strong fist and we work for a victory, and if this is a victory of values, and if they stick to their

words, to their terms and it is not just blah, blah, blah, i believe in it, we have been partners, strong partners and there is evidence to that. if we all do our important hom homework, our guard's back is very wide, and if we all do our homework, victory is inevitable. i am certain that there will be victory. i don't think, but i want it this year. we have everything for it. we have the motivation, certainty, the friends, the diplomacy. you have all come together for this, and not a single country in the world can stand up independently against the war like this. and maybe the united states could, but unfortunately, they

don't share a border with the russian federation. fortunately the ukrainian nation is not alone. we know exactly what putin wants, what the kremlin wants. the military and the political ukrainian nation, so it is important for all of us to work and work in our own place, and then we shall have victory, because truth is on our side. and the children whom we love and it is the great shame when we lose them on the front line. they are not counting their dead. that their choice.

thank you. ictv. good evening, mr. president. i would like to thank you for your example of invincibility and faith. many international experts say it is the war of attrition. and that's neither side has enough resources to gain an obvious victory on the battlefield and that negotiations are inevitable. how do you imagine these negotiations and what is going be the final victory for you? >> translator: i don't think that in theoretical terms how the negotiations will take place and what they are. we take specific steps. ukraine has initiated a peace formula at g20 even though we would, the whole world would like to see it as g19, and we

presented the peace formula as a step-by-step plan, and we can see the result of what russia has done here and how it affects not only our security, because there have been many crisis that have been caused by the aggression of the russian federation. you know, the nuclear station in the occupied and the food security and all of the chains and the black sea, and you know all of the points on the plan, and we have proposed steps. today, we can see interest in the implementation of the peace formula -- moving now to new york from kyiv and the secretary of state speaking. let's listen in. >> in 2022, i warned this council that russia was planning to invade, and they would use a

pretext of missiles and soldiers and attacks to strike identified targets in kyiv to topple the democratically elected government. russia's representative, the same representative who is going to speak today called these and i quote groundless accusations. seven days later, on february 24th, 2022, russia launched its full scale invasion. due to fierce resistance by ukraine's defenders, president putin failed in the primary objective to conquer ukraine and the existence as an independent country and absorb it into russia. then, he dusted off his crimea playbook of 2014 and he called snap referenda in four occupied parts of ukraine, and deported ukrainians and bussed in russians and held sham votes at gunpoint and then manipulated the results to claim unanimous

support for joining the russian federation. when president putin could not break the ukrainian military, he intensified efforts to break the ukrainian spirit. over the past year, russia has killed tens of thousands of ukrainian men, women and children, uprooted more than 13 million people from their homes, destroyed more than half of the country's energy grid, bombed more than 700 hospitals, 2600 schools and abducted at least 6,000 ukrainian children, and some as young as 4 months old and relocated them to russia. and yet, the spirit of the ukrainians remains unbroken. if anything, it is stronger than ever. when ukraine launched a counter offensive that retook large swathes of its territory, president putin conscripted an additional 300,000 men and throwing more and more of

russia's young people into the meat grinder of his own making, and he unleashed the wagner group unleashing atrocities from africa to the middle east and now ukraine. of course, that is not the whole story of the last year. there's also this story of the ukraine's people. vastly outnumbered, they have fought bravely to defend their nation, their freedom and the right to determine their own future, and they have demonstrated inspired unity in helping one another in the assault, and teachers are continuing education in bunkers and trying to restore heat and power to residents and neighbors are setting up soup kitchens to feed the hungry. there is also the story of how the international community has come together. the vast majority of the member states have voted multiple times to condemn russia's violations

of the u.n. charter and reject its illegal attempt to seize ukrainian territory. yesterday, 141 countries voted in the general assembly for a resolution that reaffirms the core principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity and denounces russia's atrocities and supports a just and consequential peace for a charter. when president putin tried to weaponize hunger and the worst hunger since this u.n. has seen. and since may, more than 100 countries have signed up to alleviate hunger thanks in large part to secretary-general and turkey, the black sea grain initiative, it loosened the stranglehold on the ports and brought down the cost of grain for the world. now, as moscow again tries to

throttle the output, we have to ensure that initiative is expanded and when president putin tried to weaponize energy, we tried to expand across the world so that when russia tried to target, the people of europe could stay warm, and tried to extend the independence from russia's energy. but almost every country has felt the pain, and yet, nations around the world continue to stand with ukraine, because we all recognize if we abandon ukraine, we are abandoning the charter and together we will make the united nations more secure, and no more erasing the country's borders and no more targeting civilians in war, and no more wars of aggression.

if we do not defend these basic principles, we invite a world in which might makes right, and the strong dominates the weak. this is the world that this body was created to end. this council has a unique responsibility to make sure that we do not return to it. we can do that in three ways. first, we must push for a just and durable peace. now, i expect that many countries will call for peace today. no one wants peace more than the ukrainian people. the united states has long made clear even before this war that we are prepared to engage any meaningful diplomatic effort to stop russia's aggression against ukraine, but history teaches us that it is the nature of peace that matters. for peace to be just, it must uphold the principles of the u.n. charter, sovereignty,

territorial integrity, independence. for peace to be durable, russia cannot simply rest, rearm and relaunch the war in a few months or a few years. any peace that legitimizes russia's seizure by force will weaken the charter and send message to would-be aggressors anywhere that they can invade countries and get away with it. president zelenskyy has put forward a ten-point plan for just peace, but putin has said that there is nothing to talk about until ukraine accepts the new territorial realtis while doubling down on his brutal tactics. members of this council have a fundamental responsibility to ensure that any peace is just and durable. councilmembers should not be fooled by calls of a temporary or conditional cease-fire. russia will use any pause in fighting to consolidate control of the territory that it has

illegally seized and replenish the forces for further attacks, and that what happened when russia's first assault on ukraine halted in 2015, and look at what followed. and this council should not fall into the false equivalency of both sides to stop fight or call on other nations to stop supporting ukraine in the name of peace. no member of this council should call for peace while supporting russia's war in ukraine and the u.n. charter n. this war, there is an aggressor and there is a victim. russia fights for conquest. ukraine fights for its freedom. if russia stops fighting and leaves ukraine, the war ends. if ukraine stops fighting, ukraine ends. the fact remains, one man vladimir putin started this war. one man can end it.

second, even as we were to end russia's war against ukraine, the members of this council must continue to address the other challenges to international peace and security. we hear the concerns of countries who worry that standing with ukraine and holding russia accountable is diverting focus and resources from others in need. to those countries i would say simply look at our actions. when you hear russia and the defenders accuse the countries who support ukraine of ignoring the rest of the world, i say look at moscow's actions. compare the numbers. in addition to the $13.5 billion in food aid that the united states contributed to fight hunger over the last year, we also fund more than 40% of the world food program's budget. russia contributes less than 1% of that budget. that is not an outlier, based on the latest u.n. figures the united states donates over nine times as russia to the u.n. peacekeeping, and we donate 390

times as russia to unicef and donate 9,000 times as russia to the u.n. refugee agency. third, we must reaffirm our commitment to what the u.n. charter calls the dignity and worth of the person. we must continue to compile evidence of russia's widespread atrocities including executions, torture, rape and sexual violence and the deportation of thousands of ukrainian civilians to russia. we must continue to document russia's war crimes can and cr crimes against humanity so that one day, the perpetrators can be held accountable. day after day of russia's atrocities, it is easy to become numb to the horror, to lose our ability to feel shock and outrage, but we can never let the crimes that russia is

committing become the new normal. mariupol is not normal. herpin is not normal, and stealing children from their parents is not normal. we must not let russia's indifference to life become normal. and we must remember that behind every atrocity in this russian war in conflicts around the world is a human being. i recently visited an exhibit of artwork made by ukrainian children affected by the war. one exhibit was a painting of a 10-year-old girl named veronica. and last year, russian forces shelled her home and killed her whole family.

when the first responders dug her from the rubble, a piece of sh shrapnel was lodged in her skull. it ripped off of her thumb, and doctors saved her life, but she is paralyzed and cannot see out of her left eye. in her painting, veronica drew herself in a bright pink and orange dress, holding a bouquet of flowers. the building stands next to her. when asked who lived there, she said it was a place where all of the people she knew who had been killed in the war could be safe. we, the peoples of the united nations, determined to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, and that is how the u.n. charter begins. fellow members of this council, now is the time to meet that promise. there are so many people in ukraine who want the same thing as that little girl veronica, a

world where they can live in peace, in their own country and keep the people they love safe. we have the power. we have the responsibility to create that world today and for generations to come. we cannot, we will not let one country destroy it. thank you. you have been listening to secretary of state antony blinken speak to the united nations on this one-year anniversary of russia's invasion of ukraine. we go to kylie atwood at the united nations, and it is interesting that the secretary of state would remind the united nations that he warned them one year ago that russia was planning to invade ukraine, and he said that the representative of russia who is going to be speaking today called them

groundless and look at where the world is today. >> yes, the secretary of state stating that the claim was mistaken, and that he stood before the united nations a year ago warning that russia was going to create some sort of false flag operation, and that it was going to invade ukraine, and even though russia denied it would do so, and then he reflected on how ukraine has responded, and saying that ukraine's spirit today is unbroken and that ukraine is stronger than ever, and thank the international community for standing by ukraine and supporting efforts to make sure that global food insecurity and all of the fallout from this ukraine war is supported by the rest of the world. i think that it is important to note that the secretary of state also made sure that there needs to be a just and durable peace

going forward. >> indeed, russia did try the false flag operations, and alex marquardt standing by in kyiv. i wonder if they are bracing themselves for war to drag on for months and perhaps years. >> yes, jim. jim, i absolutely think they are, and today is a day of certainly reflection for everybody who has endured this war. and the millions of ukrainians who have endured this war over the last year. it is a day of sadness ushs becau -- because indeed this war is going to continue, and there are parts of the country that have returned to normalcy and some cities that have gone back to life, and people who were out and left the country and returned whether it is leave or where i am in dnipro and this is not normal life, because this is

a time when the air-raid sirens are going off, and the attacks, the missile attacks and the drone attacks are taking part in the eastern part of the country, and the towns and the cities are decimated. this war is essentially at a standstill, and the front line is stagnant and grinding, and it is active and so there is a recognition that it is quite some time before the russian forces can be pushed out. that is why president zelenskyy is saying that time is of the essence to get the foreign aid into ukraine as fast as possible. jim? >> thank you, alex marquardt and kylie atwood, thank you so much. >> thank you, jim, for letting me spend the week with you on set here. >> great to have you. >> i'm kristin fisher. >> i'm jim sciutto, and kate bolduan is going to continue our coverage of the alex murdaugh trial next. tter what the market's doing, he's ready. and thatat's... how yoyou collect coins. your money never stops workikig for you with merrill, a bank of america company.
