Rodina Party leader Igor Markov has said by phone from Moscow that he was on the verge of becoming a victim of an explosion at Moscow's Domodedovo Airport.
"Another three or four minutes, and I could have been at the epicenter of the explosion. What I saw was a cloud of smoke. We all moved back. The driver who met us got a mild concussion," he said live on Odesa-based ATV Channel by phone from Moscow.
The politician failed to answer whether any of the passengers from a Transaero Airlines plane, which departed from the Odesa International Airport and landed at the Domodedovo airport at 16.07 local time were injured or killed in the explosion.
"I don’t know whether some of our fellow countrymen were injured or killed," Markov said.
As reported, 30 Ukrainian passengers arrived at Moscow’s Domodedovo Airport from Odesa just before the explosion hit the airport.
