Q29: By the end of 2015, who will control the Donetsk airport?
Ukraine: 25%
Donetsk Rebels or Russia: 70%
Someone else: 5%
(Definition note: Control in this question refers to de-facto physical control, not legal control. If the airport is in control of officially recognized Russian forces, this question will resolve as "Rebels or Russia". "Someone else" covers contingencies such as UN control)
The Donetsk airport is on the front lines in the current fight between Ukrainian forces and pro-Russian rebels (map here). It has great symbolic value to both sides. The airport was recently captured by rebel forces.
I think the airport will remain in rebel hands for the remainder of 2015. Recapture by Ukrainian forces is possible, but difficult. The airport might return to Ukrainian hands via diplomatic means, but diplomacy takes time.
