SOT, Dmitri Kulkov, reporter of channel 5 St petersburg (in Russian): "We were riding along with a Russia Today-Ruptly filming crew to Dmitrovka village, where troops of the Ukrainian National Guard were deployed. When we were on our way, two BTR2 blocked our way, appearing suddenly on the road at high speed. They were followed by armed men, who started shooting in the air. A lot of shots were fired and it was not clear where they were aiming at. Our driver managed to turn the car aside. Probably that saved our lives as we saw they were in a very aggressive mood. If we had smashed into them (BRT2) they would have shot at us. As we had to carry out an emergency stop the brakes in our car broke and we had to spend some time on the road between villages near Kramatorsk that is under control of Ukraine's National Guard."
