Video history
On the first day of the full-scale armed aggression, the Russians attacked the international airport "Antonov" in Gostomel. A massive air strike and an airborne assault were supposed to provide a bridgehead for the offensive, to open the way for Russian troops to Kyiv. The advance of military convoys from Belarus in the direction of the capital of Ukraine, in the first hours after Vladimir Putin's speech, should have contributed to the capture of the airport. However, the plan of a bright and convincing blitzkrieg was realized only in Russian mythmaking.
