Ukraine Soldier Documents Luhansk Airport Moments Before Rebel Takeover

On September 1st, Luhansk Airport fell to the rebels after a lengthy battle. Moments prior to the rebel seizure, a soldier records footage from around the airport. This gives us scale to just how significant the events were here. We see an almost completely destroyed airport, with wrecked tanks, fires in the hallways, and artillery continuing to rein down. In the last frame we see the Ukrainian soldiers pull out from the area, moments before rebel forces take full control.
