Piers Morgan and Konstantin Debate Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine
You illegally invaded, as a country, a sovereign democratic
country that isn't yours, since the mid-'90s, since the breakup of
the Soviet Union.
Mm-hmm.
You illegally invaded it and started killing people.
Uh, no.
Yes.
That was, that is different.
That's exactly what happened.
No. According to international law, that was very different.
Really?
Yes. Because for me to not-
You didn't invade Ukraine?
Of course not.
What did you do?
We protected our allies, Donetsk People Republic
and Lugansk People Republic-
Really?
... which, which had a military alliance with
Russia and it, they were invaded by Ukraine.
That's what-
How can you say that with a straight face? Honestly, what a load of bullshit.
Come on, Konstantin.
Oh, come on.
It's me you're talking to. You're not talking to one of your chums-
Piers, Piers, Piers, listen
... down the, down the luncheon bar.
You're, you're journal- you're a journalist.
Mm.
I am a lawyer. I am talking about international law,
and that, that, that is a
bullshit.
If you're a lawyer, you should understand the concept of
international law.
Obviously, Russia illegally invaded Ukraine.
That is beyond any doubt.
Tell me. Tell me, what does it mean...
What does it mean, obviously, that you just mean?
Well, obvious to everybody-
What does it mean, obvious?
... apart from, everybody apart from people who slavishly
support
Vladimir Putin, like you.
Oh, of course. Everyb- everybody who is, uh, sending, you know, money to
Zelenskyy and getting it back payments-
Mm
... who are corrupted European politicians,
all of them.
Mm.
All of them believe like that.
Mm. Right, well-
But this is not objective facts.
Well, it is objective facts, actually.
Uh, you can prove-
Of course not
... g- you can prove that Zelenskyy's corrupt personally,
can you?
Of course.
Well, go on then. Prove it.
Of course. You know, for this-
Mm
... to, we have to allow people who leave from
Ukraine already, right now. Like, for example, his former, uh,
foreign minister, who is now in, um, uh, US, his former
speaker, uh, his press secretary, everybody who
already left Zelenskyy office, they are telling openly
in US press about this.
That's not me. That's his team.
