'I do recall wondering if my death was going to be painful,' Stuart Ramsay wrote in his account of the incident.
Video footage captured the terror of a Sky News reporter and his photographer as they were fired upon and struck by Russian bullets near Kyiv.along with video footage of the chilling incident. Ramsay said he and his crew were"lucky" after he and camera operator Richie Mockler were not seriously injured. But the incident signals that the conflict is becoming potentially more lethal as civilians and now journalists are in harm's way.
The crew had to take a different route back into Kyiv and were directed toward an open road by a police officer who handed them ice cream, Ramsay said. The first round cracked the car's windscreen, Ramsay said, as"bullets cascaded" through the vehicle. The news crew was later told they had been ambushed by a saboteur Russian reconnaissance squad.
Still in the car with Mockler and producer Dominique Van Heerden, Ramsay recalled how he thought they were mistakenly being targeted by the Ukrainian army.
