At this stage we thought it was a Ukrainian army checkpoint firing at us and that it was a mistake, so we started screaming we were journalists, but the rounds kept coming…
We didn’t know it at the time, but we were later told by the Ukrainians that we were being ambushed by a saboteur Russian reconnaissance squad.
Uh-huh.
Told indeed.
They would say that, wouldn’t they?
If I heard “we’re journalists” the rounds would keep coming.
Quite understandable really…
Kinda surprised they didn’t call in an airstrike or some artillery. You gotta make sure…
All that time spent posing in front of the mirror in helmets and flak jackets, and then this had to go and happen. Where’s my tiny violin?

Would a nuke be overkill in such a situation? Asking for a friend
Neither side like vermin.
Lead chap seems to be wearing black clothes, body armour and helmet, with no prominent ‘press’ badge – WTF was he thinking?! Silly place to be larping soldiering chum.
