Battle for Airport Control in Donetsk has no end in sight.
The above video shows a brief overview of the battle between Ukrainian Soldiers, who have held their position since late May, and Criminally-backed insurgents. The small group of soldiers is working so hard to keep this militant force down so they do not lose the valuable port to Russia.
Here is a photo of the Donetsk Sergey Prokofiev International Airport before the fighting began.
And here is a more recent Picture. (although neither picture contained precise dates of posting) You can see the damage being done by the fighting taking place inside the airport.
You can tell from the first photo that the architecture style used in construction is modern, and shows a very contemporary style seen in many Western European examples, as well as some in the United States. The main question when dealing with this is how will all of this infrastructure be rebuilt? Once conflict in Ukraine has ended, where will the money come from to rebuild large buildings such as the Donetsk Airport, and other historic landmarks which have been destroyed during the conflict in the past 9 months.
The Pro-Russian Militant forces are being subdued by the Ukrainian Army, which is keeping it out of the wrong hands. Russia’s goal, however, is not to only take out certain areas of Ukraine such as Donetsk or even the capitol city Kiev. Russia’s goal is to take down the entire Ukrainian government and resurrect the Soviet Union.
