Rebels claims they've seized Donetsk airport
- 10 years ago
This is what a ceasefire sounds like in Eastern Ukraine. Fighting in Donetsk has raged unabated for months.
Pro-Russian separatists are claiming victory --- saying they've taken back the airport from the military who captured it in May.
They're also accusing Kiev of targeting civilian areas.
SOUNDBITE: PRO-RUSSIAN SEPARATIST FIGHTER, GIVI, SAYING:
"Neighborhoods near the airport, have been totally destroyed. People have nowhere to live, people have lost their livelihoods. The homes that are standing, people are returning to them, trying to carry out their things so they can wait out this bombardment somewhere else."
Kiev denies shelling civilian areas, insisting it has abided by the September 5th ceasefire.
