13 dead at bus stop in Donetsk, ukrainian army retreats from Donetsk airport terminal, several senior NATO military leaders decided to renew communication with Russian General Valery Gerasimov, chief of the Russian armed forces general staff. Fighting continued at the airport on January 22, with Kyiv saying its troops still held parts of the facility. Ukrainian military spokesman Vladyslav Seleznyov said the decision was made to withdraw 20 Ukrainian soldiers because “their positions had been destroyed and exposed to direct fire,” leading to the deaths of six soldiers during the previous 24 hours. He said the new terminal building “looks like a sieve and there’s simply nowhere to hide there.” U.S. General Philip Breedlove, NATOs top military commander, said in Brussels on January 22 that alliance officials have discussed how to reestablish [communication] and the fact that the communication with our senior military interlocutors in Russia is important.
