Donetsk fighting continues despite ceasefire
- il y a 10 ans
Pro-Russia rebels fired artillery rounds at Ukrainian positions at Donetsk airport on Tuesday.
One commander who spoke to The Associated Press, said they would open the airspace over the ‘Donetsk People’s Republic’ once they “take the airport.”
Although a ceasefire was declared in early September between Ukrainian forces and rebel fighters, it has been violated almost daily and fighting continues in the restive region.
In spite of the rebels’ strong presence in parts of the east, Ukraine’s government still holds large sections of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
Moscow vehemently denies that it has troops in Ukraine or that it supports the separatist forces in Ukraine’s largely Russian-speaking east.
