Harris Faulkner: This is an INCREDIBLE moment in our history

>> Harris: REPORTERS SHOUTING. QUESTIONS, LET'S SEE, SHE MAY. TURN AROUND. SHE IS NOT. THAT ISES FIRST LADY OF THE. UNITED STATES, WHO HAS BEEN PART. OF SOMETHING NEXT TO A MIRACLE. NOBODY ELSE IN FIVE YEARS OF WAR. BETWEEN RUSSIA AND UKRAINE HAS. BEEN ABLE TO DO WHAT THE FIRST. LADY JUST DID. SHE BROUGHT TOGETHER THE. DELEGATION TODAY TO TALK ABOUT.

THE MONUMENTAL IMPACT THAT HER. WORK BEHIND THE SCENES OF THE. WAR ON BEHALF OF CHILDREN AND. ELDERLY ON BOTH SIDES IN UKRAINE. AND RUSSIA, ALL OF THAT IN THE. FOREFRONT TODAY BECAUSE SHE'S. SPEAKING ABOUT IT. IT HAS BEEN GOING ON. THE DELEGATIONS COME, TRUE TEST. OF THIS IS WHETHER IT CAN MAKE A. DIFFERENCE GOING FORWARD. BY THE WAY, OUR REPORTING SHOWED. THEY GOT SOME PEOPLE OUT OF. THERE IN PRETTY HARMFUL. CONDITIONS THERE FOR CHILDREN.

INCREDIBLE MOMENT IN UNITED. STATES HISTORY. AND IMPORTANT FOR EVERYBODY TO. UNDERSTAND. THIS BRINGS A HALT, JUST A. LITTLE ONE, PART CEASEFIRE IN A. WAR TO GET PEOPLE OUT BY A FIRIT. LADY OF THE UNITED STATES. SHE'S NOT A POLITICIAN, NOT A. DIPLOMAT, SHE DOES NOT HAVE THE. ACUMEN AND RESUME OF SOMEONE WHO. MIGHT BRING SOMETHING LIKE THIS. ALONG, WHAT SHE DID HAVE WAS THE.

POWER OF HER PERCHCH AND HER HET. TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. TALK ABOUT THE MILITARY RESPONSE. TO THIS. IN FOCUS RETIRED U.S. MARINE. CORPS COLONEL, MIKE JERNEGEN. PARTIAL CEASEFIRE, OLESHKY, UKRAINE, I WANT TO KNOW THE. POSITION AND WHAT THAT MEANS FOR. THE WAR. >> THANK YOU FOR THIS. THIS IS AN AMAZING EVENT BY A. REGULAR PERSON WHO HAPPENS TO BE.

THE FIRST LADY AND ALL OF US AS. REGULAR PEOPLE CAN DO THINGS IN. OUR WORLD. COMING TO CEASEFIRE AS FORMER. AMERICAN FIGHTING MAN ANY. CEASEFIRE IS GOOD AND PARTIAL. CEASEFIRE LEAD TO WIDER. CEASEFIRE AND TEMPORARY. CEASEFIRE CAN LEAD TO PERMANENT. CEASEFIRE. I OFFER AN EXAMPLE THE CEASEFIRE. WE'VE HAD FOR 70 YEARS BETWEEN. NORTH AND SOUTH KOREA. THIS IS START OF SOMETHING GOOD. IN ENDING FIGHTING FOR ONE SMALL. AMOUNT OF TIME.

I'M OPTIMISTIC IT CAN SPREAD. >> Harris: WE HEARD FROM THE. SPECIAL ENVOY AND HE SAID HE. APPRECIATES THE UNITED STATES. PEACE-MAKINGNG PARTICIPATION AN. SHE GETS CREDIT, FIRST LADY FOR. BROKERING A CEASEFIRE. WE ARE IN THIS AS A COUNTRY, YOUR REACTION TO THAT? >> I THINK THAT IS GREAT, I. THINK IT IS AMAZING SOMETIMES. YOU CAN HAVE SOMEBODY WHO HAS. INFLUENCE WITHOUT ELECTED OFFICE. AND DO THE RIGHT THING.

IT APPEAR FIRST LADY HAS BEEN. USING HER INFLUENCE BOTH INSIDE. HER OWN HOME AND COUNTRY AND. ALSO INSIDE UKRAINE AND RUSSIA. FOR THE ADVANTAGE. I THINK THE CEASEFIRE AS PARTIAL. AS IT IS COMES AT A KEY TIME. THE UKRAINIANS BELIEVE THEY ARE. FIGHTING FOR NATIONAL SURVIVAL, THEY BELIEVE THEIR COUNTRY WILL. CEASE TO EXIST IF THEY LOSE THIS. WAR. RUSSIANS LAST MONTH IN OCTOBER. TOOK HIGHEST CASUALTIES OF ANY. MONTH SINCE THE WAR BEGUN.

THEY ARE LOSING MORE PEOPLE THAN. AMERICA DID IN VAEM WAR. MORE PEOPLE IN TWO WEEKS THAN. SOVIET UNION DO IN THE. AFGHANISTAN WAR. WORLD WAR CASUALTIES. IT IS GOOD FOR THE WORLD. >> Harris: COLONEL, WHEN YOU PUT. IT THAT WAY, WE HAVE NOT HAD. MUCH VISUAL SUPPORT OF WHAT YOU. JUST SAID. NOW WE KNOW WHAT THE DEAL IS ON. THE GROUND IN TERMS OF THAT.

CASUALTY AND DEATH COUNT, IF YOU. WILL AND THAT MATTERS, THOSE ARE. YOUNG LIVES THAT MIGHT BE DOING. FANTASTIC INNOVATIVE THINGS IF. NOT FOR DYING ON BATTLEFIELD ON. BOTH SIDES. I WANT TO READ "NEW YORK POST". EDITORIAL BOARD. HEADLINE IS HAIL MELANIA TRUMP, MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN THE. RUSSIA UKRAINE WAR. HERE IS PART OF THE ARTICLE. OF COURSE, THE FIRST LADY IS NOT.

PRETENDING SHE'S GOING TO END. THE WAR, SHE IS TRYING TO SAVE. LIVES, THEN AGAIN, SHE'S. SUCCEEDING, YOU HAVE TO WONDER. WHAT THE PRESIDENT'S OTHER. DIPLOMAT MIGHT ACHIEVE IF THEY. QUIT PRETENDING TO. THAT IS QUITE A STATEMENT. YOUR REACTION? >> I THINK WE CAN ALL JUST CELL. CELL. -- CELEBRATE WHAT THE POST. SAID, FIRST LADY WAS DOING A. SMALL PART, DID WHAT SHE COULD. DO. SHE STARTED IN A SMALL AREA WITH.

A LOCALIZED CONFLICT AND THAT IS. ALL ANY OF US CAN DO. THIS IS HOW WE GOT THROUGH GRADE. SCHOOL, LEARNING TO EAT THE. ELEPHANT ONE SMALL BITE AT A. TIME. THE FIRST LADY IS HAVING IMPACT. I ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO TAKE THEIR. OWN SMALL BITES OF THE ELEPHANT. >> Harris: ON BEHALF OF. PRESIDENT PUTIN AND HIS. DELEGATION THEY GAVE HER A GIVE, PAINTING AND IT SAID I LOVE. MELANIA, SIGNED BY SOME CHILDREN. SHE HELPED RESCUE FROM A WAR.

ZONE. ON THE FLIP SIDE, LEADERSHIP OF. UKRAINE ON BEHALF OF PRESIDENT. VOLODYMYR ZELENSKYY, THEY GAVE. HER RECOGNITION, IF YOU WILL, IN. TERMS OF HIGHEST ORDER OF. PRINCESS OLGA, AWARDED TO. MELANIA TRUMP FOR SIGNIFICANT. CONTRIBUTION HUMANITARIAN. SUPPORT FOR UKRAINE. QUITE A STORY TODAY, SO GLAD IT. IS REALITY ON THE GROUND THAT. COULD.
