"I do not know what these guys are made of, but Right Sector cannot stop surprising us. 'Bars' (nom de guerre of the commander of an assault company in Pisky) informs us that they've 'perforated' another corridor from Pisky to the airport, so there is a new 'lifeline route.' Our fighters in the terminal haven't been left alone. An armored vehicle has arrived to pick up some of the injured. The militants asked the 'cyborgs' to cease fire to collect their cargo 200 (the dead) and 300 (the wounded)," he wrote.
