To elaborate a bit, there was a shooting at the airport on the 24th, but Antonov the company confirmed that the plane was in good condition: https://twitter.com/AntonovCompany/status/149732108560330752...

Fighting continued (it's in a hotly contested airport just north of Kyiv), and then yesterday the company released another update that said:

> Currently, until the AN-225 has been inspected by experts, we cannot report on the technical condition of the aircraft.

Based on that, I wouldn't call it completely destroyed, but it will certainly need repairing.
