Welcome dear friends to America first one on one with our special in studio guest none other than US Marine called Gunnery Sergeant Jesse Jane Duff campaign co-chair for veterans.

Jesse welcome back in studio it is always great to have you with us sadly your experiences more relevant than ever.

I want to play with you will you indulge me first I want to play to you cut a little little clip from the BBC that was sent to me by my son explain yesterday why my son sent it to me and how it hit him hard.

Given the fact that he grew up in hungry which is literally right next to the Ukraine and he said.

This story from the BBC could so easily have been about me I apologize for those of you watching on the Facebook live stream we are now going to have a technical difficulty in advance because the BBC is.

They don't like to share okay so we're going to put up a buffer technical difficulty while we play this cut it's about two young Ukrainians and 18 year old and a 20 year old who are now fighting for their country play cut.

Pictures of Russian forces time and place in determinant emerge from their side.

Among their potential targets here in Kiev no one knows their precise orders but they're assuming an attack is coming.

On the Ukrainian side that trying to make checkpoints into real obstacles the professionals are a few miles closer to the Russians the soldiers here are all volunteers but they are still expected to fight even with only a few days training.

Just over a week ago I met two university friends Maxin H19 and Demetro 18 as they signed up in Kiev.

Most of the recruits that day were about the same age making jokes that hide their nerves.

When they lined up outside they looked as if they were off to a festival except for the guns.

Now Demetro and Maxin have been given uniforms three days training and they're facing the Russians.

I was pretty used to my gun I learned how to shoot and acting in the battle. Many other things that would be very crucial during their fight with some Russians.

I feel much more confident than I was before because we get enough knowledge in tactics.

Do you do the battle is coming for Kiev?

Yeah it's definitely possible but we just have to stop them here in Brewery because you say you get to Kiev this war probably my door.

What do your parents think about what you're doing?

I'm on the war I'm fighting with the gun in my hands and she said oh Maxin don't joke with your mouth it's war.

Just sit in the shelter and do your work volunteer or do something else.

Do you feel scared?

Not much but it's human nature to feel scared and of course deeply in my soul I feel a bit scared because no one wants to die.
