Airport is in ruins, but Ukrainian retreat puts them farther back from Donetsk, & arguably rebels could repair runwaypic.twitter.com/QRuy80qclJ

@ASLuhn Well, to operate an airport you need to control it. My point was that you also need to control wast tracts around it.
@andersostlund my pt is that this is setback for Ukraine or they wouldn't have bothered for 242 days.But maybe they got concession in Berlin
@andersostlund @ASLuhn Worst is not loss of airport, but troops were abandoned there. Counter-attack sucked + Kyiv lied about it...
.@noclador @andersostlund @ASLuhn No evidence seen yet that #Ukraine's military command can lead as competently as its troops can fight.
@andersostlund @ASLuhn Ukraine defended it for 242 days as a symbol. Much like Croatians defended Vukovar to the last.
