This is quite harrowing, I suggest you do not let your kids watch it.

Remarkable that they escaped from that.

Notice how they kept shooting despite knowing they were unarmed and journalists. Honestly, the Russians are going to get very nasty. We need to make their nation EXTREMELY poor. And be careful with the journalists we leave there.

Unless they were meant to?

Seems a bit convenient. Ukrainian checkpoint, they get shot at and get away.

Could have been Russians wanting them to get attacked and live to tell the tale believing they would blame the Ukrainians?

I'd put it more down to being in a vehicle, body armour and getting away as fast as possible. Possibly also not being attacked by top quality troops.

I think they says one of them was shot twice in their body armour.

Doesn't seem convenient to me, the car's getting riddled with bullets. No one could be sure the inhabitants would survive that.

I think the most likely explanation - the one used by the journalists themselves - was that it was simply a Russian ambush.

Trust the process. Trust Phil.

100%. Appreciate there is lots of misinformation around,, but the journos took bullets.

Why would the Ukrainians attack an unmarked car likely to be carrying Ukranians?

The journos are clear they were targeted and it fits in with other reports of Russian forces targeting civilians. Unless people are arguing Sky journos have colluded in a false story - then it is clear to me that what is filmed is genuine and is from Russian troops or mercenaries.

I think so , if they were elite or intent on killing they would have done so, very very lucky.

How on earth could all those bullets be fired into a car, but with the specific intent of them getting away? That is some amazing shooting to let loose all those bullets directly into that car, but want them to live.

The only circumstance under which it might have been Ukrainians would be a jumpy militia roadblock or patrol, who were firing at anything going down the road, especially heading towards Kyiv.

In which case they would most likely have stopped shooting upon being hailed by English voices claiming to be journalists - they being pretty universally on the Ukrainian side. The Russians (especially mercenary groups like the Chechens), on the other hand, would have incentive to get rid of hostile foreign media teams.

I was just thinking out loud.

Just seems the kind of thing the more extreme Russians might do so they could present it as evidence that the BS they say is true. They would only need one survivor.

I fully accept it's unlikely.

It is important that we recognise that there will be propaganda on both sides and that the Russians will spin this too.

However, I think the journalists would be very ill advised to spin anything themselves (not saying you said they were, btw) and the Russians have it in their interests to ensure what is going on is not accurately reported. They are trying to push a narrative that Ukraine are making it all up and they are the liberators. The journalists have an important role to get the truth into the public domain and it is now clear that they are risking their lives to do so.

Seeing the fanatical support from some Russians, and also Serbs bizarrely, it's almost a SS-like psychopathic mania that some of these animals have. If we could get away with it, I'd suggest continuous drone strikes from NATO to obliterate the Russian army...

I really don’t know why it wouldn’t be, but why do I struggle to see how this isn’t staged? You can hear at least 30 shots fired, not a single one hit (except for body armour) and as they escape, they run for about 5 seconds and then just walk slowly. I wouldn’t be walking slowly if I’d just been shot at multiple times.

Why do they also not show the shot at body armour?

Before anyone goes off, I’m not a conspiracy theorist, or hold any strong beliefs to get into a major debate, but that was my genuine thoughts after watching this.

They’ve barely got going yet if Chechnya is any indication. Appalling war crimes are Putin’s forte.
