You're reading: Fighter releases a video of guided tour of Donetsk airport (VIDEO)

 An unidentified fighter in Donetsk released a short video clip on Nov. 24, showing what the local airport looks like after months of contsant shelling.

 The airport, located on the outskirts of Donetsk, between the Ukrainian and separatist held territories, has been one of the central focal points of the war in the east in the past few months. The airport has been shelled daily despite a cease-fire agreement signed on Sept. 5. 

The airport itself was renovated just two years ago before Euro 2012 football championship, at the cost of $750 million from taxpayers alone. But recent footage of the airport shows that it has come to look like a pile of rubbish as a result of constant fighting. 

The fighter in the video starts off by explaining the view out of the window on the fourth floor, where the video is shot.

“You see in front of you a
tower, it’s ours. To the right, there is a fire building. It’s
controlled by the terroristsk,” he says.

“Here, you see one of the
offices on the fourth floor. This is our office now. You can see that
the Russian artillery has made us great ventilation,” the fighter jokes, pointing the camera to holes in the roof.

“Everything is broken, you
need to look where you step. There could be mines there, or just
sharp objects,” he says, before moving to show the central part of the airport.

“Further we see a hall, the
central hall of the airport. A vast, trashed hall. Further out there
you see Metro and other buildings. So, if you feel it’s difficult to
work in the office- we’re coming to you,” he concludes.
