Russian troops gunned the camera crew of the British TV company Sky News near Kyiv. Sky News chief correspondent Stuart Ramsay and his four colleagues were trapped as they were returning from Bucha to the Ukrainian capital, where they were filming a destroyed Russian convoy. A bulletproof vest saved cameraman Richie Mockler that took machine-gun fire while Ramsay was wounded. Dominique Van Heerden, Martin Vowles and Andrii Lytvynenko were in the camera crew's car. The group managed to get out of the car, which was under heavy fire, and take cover inside the factory building before being rescued by Ukrainian police.
