One month later, he is now recovering from surgery and talking about his harrowing experience. Ramsay and senior foreign producer Dominique Van Heerden spoke with me about how they fled the ambush; hid inside a warehouse for several hours; and evacuated the area with the help of Ukrainian police.

“Appalled”at Axios

The White House spent much of Friday frustrated by an Axios report that it believes was based on a fabricated letter purportedly written by Ukraine’s top national security official. The Axios story, written by reporter Zachary Basu, said that Oleksiy Danilovhad asked the US earlier this month “to go beyond traditional military aid and provide the country with the funding, training and weaponry to support a long-term resistance movement.”

But Ukrainian Ambassador Oksana Markarova later told Axios that she believed the letter was “falsified.” And officials at the National Security Council also told Axios they have no record of receiving such a letter from Danilov.
