The married pair spoke with CNN’s Brian Stelter on Sunday’s “Reliable Source,” telling him of the consequences of speaking out against Russia’s aggression against Ukraine.“You now face 10 years in prison if you call this war what it is, a war…if you interview [Ukraine] President Zelenskyy or do anything like that,” Kotrikadze told Stelter.

Kotrikadze had previously been on “Reliable Sources” during the early stages of the invasion from Moscow, but since fled with her husband and reporting partner Dzyadko to Istanbul and now to Tbilisi, Georgia, where they continue to cover the war via a new YouTube channel, which already has over 100,000 subscribers after just four days.

The duo says that they hope to reunite with their TV Rain colleagues somewhere in Europe in the coming weeks, as they say they have heard pleas from Russian citizens to find ways to continue their work. “We are filling a huge demand from the viewers,” Kotrikadze said. “They’re asking for a source that is not dependent on this Russian propaganda machine.” Dzyadko said that the pair chooses YouTube to continue their work because Russia has not yet blocked the site.
