KRAMATORSK, Ukraine – Ukraine’s acting president says army troops have restored control over a small airport in eastern Ukraine that had been occupied by pro-Russian militiamen.
It was the first military action taken by the government after acting President Oleksandr Turchynov announced an “anti-terrorist operation” against the separatists who have seized control of numerous buildings in the east of the country.
