CNN’s Nick Paton Walsh gets firsthand look at devastated Donetsk airport

Amid active shelling by the Ukrainian military, CNN’s senior international correspondent Nick Paton Walsh (@npwcnn) gets a firsthand look at the devastated Donetsk International Airport.

Walsh recalls flying out of this airport just six months ago, and now very little of it remains.

“Hard to imagine how just six months ago we were here flying out of Donetsk at this – what was then a state-of-the-art terminal. Just look at the destruction and how this symbolizes how far eastern Ukraine has fallen.”
