Ukraine has RETAKEN airport on outskirts of Kyiv from Russian special forces, according to the Ukrainian defense minister. Ukrainian President Zelensky says 137 of his soldiers have been killed and 300 injured fighting Putin’s troops at Antonov Airport, 20 miles north of Kyiv in the town of Hostomel, which was being patrolled by Russian airborne troops on Thursday, Feb 24, 2022. The airport is seen as a vital asset for Moscow to bring more troops and military equipment into the capital. While a CNN team was at the airport, they saw Ukrainian servicemen trying to push the Russians back from the site. On Thursday evening, Feb 24, 2022, the Ukrainian government said that they had retaken the airport and repelled the elite Russian troops. Ukraine’s National Guard posted a photo to social media of three soldiers holding a bullet-riddled Ukrainian flag, and said they were heroes of the battle. Ukraine’s government claimed on Thursday to have retaken an airport on the outskirts of Kyiv that Russian airborne troops had seized earlier. President Zelensky also ordered compulsory enlistment and banned all men aged 18-60 from leaving the country, in the video published on Feb 24, 2022, “Ukraine has RETAKEN airport on outskirts of Kyiv from Russian special forces, claims defense minister“, below:
