Interfax quotes a "Donetsk People's Republic" leader, Aleksandr Zakharchenko, dismissing this week's suggestion by pro-Kyiv Donetsk regional administration head Serhiy Taruta that other land might be swapped in exchange for control of Donetsk airport, where heavy fighting has persisted.

"There will be no land swap [like that proposed by] Taruta," Zakharchenko reportedly said.

And then he went on to say, according to the Russian agency: "In two or at least three days we will take control of the Donetsk airport."
