The photos depict piles of scorched rubble. Earlier
unpublished photos of the ruined Donetsk airport have been shared on social
media.
The images were posted by NGO Ukrainian Military Portal on Facebook.
The photos show the structures of a completely
destroyed airport, broken military hardware, trip wires, an ammunition depot,
remains of defensive barriers, and a church near the airport.
The airport, which was once a modern transportation
hub, was destroyed in fierce battles after Russian-led forces' attempts to
seize it on May 26, 2014. Ukraine's government completely lost control of the
airport on January 21, 2015, after the so-called second battle of Donetsk
Airport, when it was besieged for three months, three weeks and two days.
