Briefly about the Donetsk and Lugansk airports because there are so many questions.

1. The Donetsk airport has not been fully captured yet. It was shelled with artillery during the evening and the night, the junta left a part of the airport near the runway. It is too early to speak about fully capturing the airport, although the tendency is such that the junta may have to abandon the airport by itself because it has to make the front line more straight and free up the forces that are necessary to close the gap in the front south of Donetsk. The airport had strategic significance as a foothold for an offensive on Donetsk. Because now this question is no longer on the agenda, this position is becoming less of a benefit and more of a liability. The army of Novorossia will speed up this process to the extent of its abilities. I think that they will be pushed out of there, if not today, then this week (of course, I would like the airport to be encircled again, but the main armored groups of Novorossia army near Donetsk are concentrated south of the city. The fact that the capture of the airport was reported prematurely is typical - oftentimes prospective successes are presented as final victories there. There will be a victory, but a bit later, because there are all prerequisites for it (the configuration of the front line, creation of a powerful artillery fist by the army of Novorossia specifically for capturing the airport, and demoralization of the junta troops).
