Here Turchynov was shown freshly painted equipment lined up in a row, as well as fortifications - the Ukrainians had dug deep into the ground, equipping the dugouts even with household refrigerators.
Turchinov examined the ruins of Donetsk airport through binoculars. Before this, someone from the escort group suggested to him: “Put on a helmet.” “This is not the front line,” Turchinov waved it off.
Earlier, Turchynov’s predecessor as Secretary of the Security Council, Andrei Parubiy, now vice-speaker of the Verkhovna Rada, stated that Ukraine was preparing an operation to storm Donetsk and Lugansk, similar to the one carried out in Croatia to clear out Serbian enclaves.
