Russian special forces troops have seized control of the primary international airport outside Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital.

The Antonov International Airport fell under Russian control early on Thursday.

The site is roughly 15 miles from Ukraine’s capital, with many observers of the war shocked that the Russian Military had secured the immensely strategic location hundreds of miles from eastern Ukraine.

CNN’s Michael Chance filmed the Russian troops securing a perimeter around the site on Thursday. Chance indicated that the commander of the airborne unit had permitted him to document their presence at the airport.

Chance revealed that the Russian troops had engaged in a firefight at the scene with Ukrainian forces before he filmed them.
