Stephen Fry was escorted to a Kyiv air raid shelter earlier this week after the Russian's attacked the capital city while he was there for a work trip
Stephen Fry was forced to take shelter in a Kyiv air shelter as Russia unleashed yet another air raid on Ukraine's capital city.
Opening up about the experience, Stephen said hotel staff woke him up at 4.45am and told him to flee for cover in the basement as the Russian air force unleashed another brutal attack as part of their attempted invasion of Ukraine. He said: "I didn't have the foresight to bring a laptop but the more seasoned citizens knew better." Following an hour in the protective bunker, Stephen said he heard an announcement which said: "Your attention, please! There are explosions in the city. Stay in the shelter," which made some people instantly return to the shelter.
Meanwhile, Putin's forces also destroyed a shopping centre in Donetsk which saw the Mercury shopping centre burst into flames, damaging 30 stalls. 20 shops, power lines and an apartment building were also damaged.
