"The problems were north and in Kiev, the capital," he said. "I was more west, very close to the borders with Romania, Slovakia and Hungary. That part of the country was OK. There were still a few protesters in town but nothing much. I can't say I was scared, but I was cautious about it, and people were talking about how there might be people coming to town just to protest like in some other cities. I flew through Kiev once or twice, and both times there were problems, but we walked through the city and it was OK.
