Then we were under full attack. “Bullets cascaded through the whole of the car, tracers, bullet flashes, windscreen glass, plastic seats, the steering wheel, and dashboard had disintegrated.” He said producer Martin Vowles, who was driving, got out of the car first, quickly followed by Andrii Lytvynenko, our local producer. Himself and producer Dominique Van Heerden inside, taking cover in the footwells and across the backseat. Ramsay said he managed to get out the car but was hit in the lower back, which he said was “more like being punched, really”. But he said Mockler was still in the car with bullets flying at him. “The rounds were ploughing into the car every time he moved. He was actually being protected by the engine block – he knew that. “He called out, and we shouted at him to come. But then silence. It seemed like an eternity before he emerged over the barrier and jumped down towards us, followed by a hail of gunfire. The team eventual found refuge in a factory before the Ukrainian police came and took them back to Kyiv. “The five of us were alive. We couldn’t believe it,” said Ramsey.
