Video Shows Russian-Backed Fighters Attacking Donetsk Airport This video, dated today, shows some of the fighting at the airport. It appears to have been taken by Russian-backed militants. The militants appear to be mainly focusing their fire (and receiving returning fire) from the second floor. Its not exactly clear whether there are still Russian-backed fighters in the building. In the first few frames of the video, the separatists taking the video say thats coming from us, regarding the firing, but then they say from the first floor and then say the Ukrainians but you cant hear them over the roar of the artillery shots (perhaps a mortar, which appears to be operated by the Russian-backed fighters Our two thoughts on the video: it proves that the Russian-backed fighters do not control the airport and appear to have been pushed back much further than they were at this time last week. It also proves that despite Ukraines counter-attack, the Russian-backed fighters are still on the doorstop of Ukrainian military positions at the airport, meaning that the battle is far from over and the tide could easily turn once again. https://m.youtube/watch?v=dFR_7zOuhHc
