In 2014 Donbass residents in the Donetsk region refused to recognise the results of “Maidan” and were confronted by a severe reaction from the Ukrainian authorities. As a result, Donetsk airport became a stronghold for the Ukrainian army wanting to remain in control. One of the main objectives was to retake the airport control tower, which the Ukrainian army used to target the shelling of militia and peaceful citizens.
