Rebels Claim to Have Control of Ukraine Airport

By ANDREW ROTH and ANDREW E. KRAMERJAN. 16, 2015

MOSCOW — Leaders of a Russian-backed rebel movement in eastern Ukraine claimed on Friday to have captured the Donetsk city airport, a symbolically important and long-sought prize, although central government officials denied this was the case.

A senior leader for the rebels, the pro-Russian Donetsk People’s Republic, described the fight as the start of a new offensive to push Ukraine out of the east.

Despite a cease-fire that was signed on Sept. 5, the sides have fought in the rubble of the airport terminals for months. The rebels have repeatedly claimed to have captured the site, even though Ukrainian forces have been able to hold onto pockets inside the terminal. A major escalation in shelling preceded the latest claim.

If the claim is true, it would signal the first significant territorial advance by the rebels since the signing of the cease-fire pact.

Well, the claim has been made so many times that it's difficult to believe.

With the amount of shelling reported, it should be called an airstrip. The terminals and support buildings are likely just wreckage by now. You can't use artillery on an airport serving 4-5 million people and have much left.

Even if Kiev loses the airport, they will have succeeded in wrecking it.

The airport has no utility even if it was not destroyed because it was near the new border.
