Exhibition to honor defenders of Donetsk airport
On January 20, Ukraine marked the third anniversary to honor the so-called "cyborgs," the Ukrainian defenders of Donetsk airport ruined in the Donbas war.
The airport has become a symbol of Ukraine's fight against Russian-backed separatists in Donbas, and the "cyborgs" are Ukrainians who have held on to it despite persistent rebel attack.
The nickname was first used online and has since become a media staple in Ukraine. It stuck, because to some the Donetsk airport defenders' exploits have appeared superhuman. They had been defending the airport for 242 days.
