Nicholas Thomas Match, a journalist from New Zealand, said he was held at gunpoint by a member of Ukraine’s Territorial Defence Forces (Ukrainian volunteer armed corps) while in Kharkiv around March 20. Match said him and a colleague from Canada were conducting an interview, and were together with their driver and a Ukrainian fixer near a residential building in the city, when an armed and visibly drunk man approached him and demanded explanations on what he and his team were doing. The journalist said the situation was later resolved by other Territorial Defence members. Kharkiv was semi-encircled and regularly bombed by Russian forces at the time of the event.
