Yegor Gordeev, host of the Ukrainian television morning showBreaking with 1+1, has been broadcasting live from a bomb shelter in the wake ofRussia’s invasion.
“I am not sure I am safe, but I hope so,” he said onGood Morning Britainat the time.
“So what about me and what about our broadcasts and what about our breakfast show? Now during the morning, our broadcast, we have to leave the studio immediately a couple of times,” he continued.
Discussing his work environment, Gordeev said then, “It’s not an ordinary studio. There’s a table and a kitchen — it is not what we remember before the war.”
There was only one television station in Ukraine following the invasion, he said.
In aseparate interview TuesdayonGood Morning America, Gordeev spoke with with ABC News' George Stephanopoulos — also from inside a bomb shelter.
“In 21st century, it’s barbarian war,” he said, calling Russian PresidentVladimir Putin"unstoppable."
More than a million Ukrainians have also fled, the United Nations says.

With NATO forces massing in the region around Ukraine, various countries have also pledged aid or military support to the resistance. Ukrainian PresidentVolodymyr Zelenskyy, 44, called for peace talks — so far unsuccessful — while urging his country to fight back.
Putin, 69 insists Ukraine has historic ties to Russia and he is acting in the best security interests of his country. Zelenskyy vowed not to bend.
“Nobody is going to break us, we’re strong, we’re Ukrainians,” he told the European Union in a speech in the early days of the fighting, adding, “Life will win over death. And light will win over darkness.”
