Gutorova believes the Russian invasion has gone beyond "terrorism" and has firsthand experience of what is happening in Ukraine. "I don't think there's any doubt that what Russia is doing is terrorism, in fact, it has gone beyond terrorism and what it's committing now is open genocide," she said. Gutorova believes there are no excuses for Ovchinnikova, but she did have a simple message for her. Police wouldn't confirm to Newshub if they're investigating Ovchinnikova but the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said they're aware police are looking into the matter. She told AM thousands of Ukrainians would like to come to Aotearoa as a safe haven if they could.
