"There are now small pockets of resistance on the Sand side, not even pockets of resistance, but people who walled themselves in the building, they simply do not give up,” he said.
“I also want to clarify the situation with the Ukrainian military, who were allegedly allowed to leave the airport. They were not given such an opportunity; there was an attempt to escape. “Cyborgs” cannot function normally in winter conditions, apparently the lubrication does not allow it, they fled from there.
But this is a war, unfortunately, they also have artillery, so some of the people who broke out jumped up on BMPs, picked them up and took them away, but the main group was destroyed. An infantry fighting vehicle was hit, and ambulances were observed. I can’t say exactly how many losses the Ukrainian armed forces have. But the airport had about 170 people in the new terminal. The rotations they did deceived us, changing people in parts. Now there are no more than 10 of them left. There are no prisoners in the airport area,” Zakharchenko said.
As PolitNavigator reported, Ukrainian military say they do not intend to give up their positions at Donetsk airport. Now there is close combat. Besides, Artillery is operating in Donetsk itself.
