Journalists under fire @ Kyiv check point, all survived

“We were under full attack,” Ramsay wrote. “Bullets cascaded through the whole of the car, tracers, bullet flashes, windscreen glass, plastic seats, the steering wheel and dashboard had disintegrated.”

“It was professional, the rounds kept smashing into the car — they didn’t miss,” he added.“

Looks like some self-administered pain happened right there.
When you go rolling around chasing battles, you're acting like a dog chasing cars, once you catch one and it flips you through the air and into a ditch, well, who's fault is that?

“We were very lucky. But thousands of Ukrainians are dying, and families are being targeted by Russian hit squads just as we were, driving along in a family saloon and attacked,” he wrote. “This war gets worse by the day.”
Oh, spare me... :rolleyes:
It's called a checkpoint, or "non-permissive environment", you know, where they shoot at you if you just try to roll on through cuz there's a war on.
