Fuck Sky News and especially Stuart Ramsay. Sorry, but I will take this “ambush” with a grain of salt.
Back in 2016, they made [this “documentary”](https://youtu.be/vjueUbCmwn4) about the illegal arms trade in Europe. Days later after this bullshit aired, the Romanian police caught all the “arms dealers” and they discovered they were just paid actors and the “dangerous guns” were in fact legally owned hunting rifles. This bitch denied everything despite there being surveillance footage of him meeting with the supposed arms dealers in the city without the masks on.
With all of this taken into account, I wouldn’t be surprised if this ambush was just more of the same bullshit to get attention and ratings.
>but we were later told by the Ukrainians that we were being ambushed by a saboteur Russian reconnaissance squad.
Don’t they say they’re passing through Ukrainian controlled area though and just prior passed through a Ukrainian check point where they were given ice creams by the police (surely that type of hospitality would be in-between two Ukrainian checkpoints and not between Ukrainian and Russian controlled areas) [[https://news.sky.com/story/sky-news-teams-harrowing-account-of-their-violent-ambush-in-ukraine-this-week-12557585](https://news.sky.com/story/sky-news-teams-harrowing-account-of-their-violent-ambush-in-ukraine-this-week-12557585)]?
I trust the Sky news reporter since his work in the past has been excellent but since their source was Ukraine it seems far less likely if they were responsible they would come out and admit it to them. To their credit though there has already been proof of Russian Saboteurs shooting on civilian vehicles in the past few days such as the video that surfaced a few days ago where the two men and their dog were fired at by Russians but surely it’s right to be a bit sceptical that between two Ukrainian checkpoints and while in an unmarked car wearing dark body armour that only has the words press on the chest which could be hard to make out from a distance that it might not have 100% been Russian saboteurs but could have been a mistake from the Ukrainian side.

Regardless glad the crew made it out alive.
