According to a story Friday, a Sky News journalist was wounded in a horrific shooting ambush while documenting Russia's savage invasion of Ukraine.

As they attempted to leave Kyiv on Monday, chief correspondent Stuart Ramsay and his team came under fire from Russian attackers near a checkpoint.

"Our world was turned inside out," Ramsay wrote of the attack in a first-person account. "I do recall wondering whether my demise would be painful."

He stated that he initially heard a minor explosion and felt a tire pop on the vehicle he was traveling, leading it to roll to a stop on a barren roadway.

Suddenly, bullets penetrated the vehicle's glass, causing the five-person team to duck for cover.

"We were under attack on all fronts," Ramsay writes. "Bullets cascaded throughout the vehicle; tracers, bullet flashes, windscreen glass, plastic seats, steering wheel, and console had all been destroyed.

"It was professional; the rounds continued to smash into the car — they made no misses," he claimed.

Ramsay was traveling toward the village of Bucha, around 30 miles from Kyiv — a location where the Ukrainian army earlier destroyed a Russian convoy — when a sabotage Russian reconnaissance squad opened fire, he added.

Ramsay and the others declared themselves journalists, but "the rounds continued to come," Ramsay recounted.

A bullet shot him in the lower back as he prepared to run toward a 40-foot embankment.

"I've been struck!" he exclaimed as he collapsed face-first into the slope.

He said that Richie Mockler, the camera operator, also received two non-fatal shots to his body armor.

"We gathered at the bottom [of the embankment]. We were all five of us still alive. "We couldn't believe what we were hearing," he wrote.

The journalists fled into a nearby factory unit, using a concrete wall as protection, and waited for relief.

According to Ramsay, they returned to Kyiv's central business district a day later, who did not elaborate on his injury.

"We were quite fortunate. However, thousands of Ukrainians are being killed, and families are being targeted by Russian assassination squads, exactly as we were when we were ambushed while driving in a family saloon," he said. "This war is escalating daily."
