War in Ukraine: Militants mark OPEN cameraman with a gun

The OPEN crew in Kyiv had difficult times with the channel’s envoy, journalist Christos Nikolaidis, and the cameraman, Dimitris Alexakis, covering the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

“Militiamen and police approached us. At one point, one of the militiamen, who was very angry, raised his weapon and marked Dimitris “, described Christos Nikolaidis, referring to the OPEN cameraman. “Things were ‘a little difficult’ but we got over it. Dimitris kept his composure. “I tried to show my journalistic identity, our translator Nikos started shouting at them and explaining to them,” he added.

Dimitris Alexakis described that in order to reassure the militiaman who was marking him, he was forced to lie on the ground.
