Asset Overview

This is my entrance in the Current Events challenge. Obiovusly most important event for me as a dweller of Eastern Europe from the last half of decade was war agreession against Ukraine, which started in 2014, from annexation of the Crimea - peninsula at the south part of the country. This event was followed by aggression on the eastern region, right in the regions, which have direct borders with Russian Federation on the ground. This is the control tower of Donetsk International Airport, as you may guess from the title. This milestone became the symbol of the resistance and was defended 242 days until completely destroyed by pro-russian terrorists on January 21st of 2015, and when there nothing left to defend. Protectors of this airport were called Cyborgs, and after this there was saying: "Concrete not withstood, but Cyborgs did". Inspired by amazing airscans by @mschroyer and Ukrainian warriors, whom just left their civilan lives to became protectors of Motherland. Battles in area is still ongoing.
