This is what war has done to a Ukrainian airport
This incredible drone footage shows what happened to the airport in Donetsk, Ukraine, after being ravaged by war for more than a year.
Donetsk, a city in eastern Ukraine, has been a highly contested site, fought over by the Ukrainian army and pro-Russian separatist forces since the outbreak of war in early 2014. Its airport in particular was viewed as a strategic necessity for both sides, which led to two large-scale battles over the facility.
However, in its current shape, the airport is virtually useless. It has been under rebel control since early 2015.
