The fight to control the ruins of Donetsk International Airport has become the focal point of the bloody confrontation between Ukraine and Russia.

When viewed from above, there is little evidence of life in the devastated airport, but on the ground the fighting is more intense than anything witnessed in Europe since the defeat of Nazi Germany. Many have compared the Battle for Donetsk Airport to the Battle of Stalingrad.

Like Stalingrad during WWII, Donetsk Airport has acquired a symbolic importance for both sides which is above and beyond its strategic value.
