The Ukrainian anti-terrorist operation forces that are defending the Donetsk airport did not blow up the old terminal.
NSDC information and analytical center spokesman Andriy Lysenko said this at a briefing in Kyiv on Monday, a Ukrinform correspondent reported.
“There was no specially planned blasting of the old terminal,” Lysenko said.
He said that Ukrainian military use as the old terminal as a fortification, so it makes no sense to destroy it.
“Very fierce fighting is going on at the airport, and the old terminal is a protective structure for our military, and it makes no sense to blow up your defense,” he said.
