About Donetsk airport, news reports are a mixture of repeating the Reuters claims about the Ukrainian Army retaking most of it, and saying they have tried to reinforce the airport.
And the latest round of peace talks failed. According to Interfax, two separatist leaders failed to turn up. Rossiya 24 blamed Ukraine and said their representative (Leonid Kuchma) failed to turn up.

just preparing for a pub talk this afternoon
but I think at the time you were writing this, Ukrainian armored column took it from Andeevka (Авдеевкa) through the Spartak area (defended by "Vostok" Battalion) of Donetsk to the Putilov Bridge Junction, where it got lucky as Separatists' tanks were resupplying ammunition (to use it for "cleaning of the remaining pockets of resistance at Donetsk Airport"), popped three of them ... and arrived at Donetsk Airport (this is acknowledged by "Cassad"by the way, "gritting teeth" of debaters on that site now, predicting "Airport Will Become Ukrainian Stalingrad" and stuff like that -- they see Ukrainian videos of "cleaning the Airport" coming soon ...)

Although damaged it's runway can be repaired enough to provide landing and take offs of supplies from planes and helicopters.
My speculation:
There are the roads Kiev hopes to use to enter and conquer Donetsk. Think of all the heavy equipment that is to compensate for the lack of capabilities and elan of the the Ukie army.
lugansk has a more secured airport, but i guess two is always better than one.
Also the new terminal's roof collapsed today, trapped a few cyborgs underneath. things not lookin good for Ukr troops there, the violence seems more likely to escalate than to peter out.

Interestingly, the threat of Russia stopping gas delivery to Ukraine never materialized, despite the fact that such a move would have crippled the Kiev regime's economy.
This is perhaps the most perplexing part of Russia's strategy. That they are supporting the Novorossiyan rebels is without question, but they do not seem to be willing to make the moves that would ensure the rebels' victory.
