Three Ukrainian soldiers have been killed and another 66 wounded in the Donbas conflict zone in the last day, National Security and Defense Council spokesman Andriy Lysenko said at a briefing in Kyiv on Monday.
According to the government’s Anti-Terrorist Operation headquarters, there is still fighting going on at Donetsk airport between Ukrainian troops and Russian-backed militants.
Ukrainian officials claimed on Sunday that Ukrainian forces had managed to force back an attack by militants, who began on January 13 an attempt to overrun the airport, and that Ukrainian forces had regained control the facility.
However, video aired by several Russian television channels appears to show that a substantial part of the airport complex is still under militant control.
