Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has met with servicemen, who are defending Donetsk Airport, who have been nicknamed "cyborgs" in Ukraine, and volunteers, who help provide them with everything necessary.

Addressing the "cyborgs" the head of state noted that terrorists would spread out to Lviv if the airport was surrendered to the enemy.

"I am confident that we are defending the entire Ukraine there: if we surrender Donetsk, the enemy will be in Boryspil, Hostomel (Kyiv region) or Lviv," Poroshenko stressed.
