That means the Kiev forces can punch through the encirclement anytime then?

It is doubtful that the Kiev forces have the competence to do that. Look have they failed when trying to capture the airport. But at that time it was already said that they were much better in defence. And in Debaltsevo they are not yet encircled.

The Ukrainian ministry of defence claims it managed to destroy a number of aircraft held by separatists during two days of fighting in January.
Confirming that the allegedly Russia-backed separatists possessed such aircraft following media speculation, the Ukrainian MoD announced on 27 January that a number of fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft were destroyed, in addition to four tanks, nine armoured vehicles and some rocket launchers.
The aircraft included one , two An-2s, one , two Yak-50s and four helicopters.
“Terrorists have suffered a loss of manpower and equipment,” the MoD says.
The fighting was believed to have taken place in Verbovaya Balka, near , on 26-27 January.

Member of parliament Borys Filatov, speaking on social media, says destroying the aircraft sends a message to separatists that are thinking of acquiring aircraft from the Russian government.
It was previously rumoured that would provide the separatists with aircraft and pilots, although the Kremlin maintains that it has no connection with the militants advancing throughout Ukraine in the name of Russian sovereignty.
Flightglobal’s MiliCAS fleets database shows the Russian air force as operating 161 L-39s, 102 An-12s, 76 An-26s, 91 Let L-410s and 131 Ilyushin Il-76s, among others.

The article is unclear, but is the image supposed to be the kind of aircraft possessed by the rebels?

Understood, but I was more wondering if this was supposed to be an example of aircraft operated, and presumably destroyed, by the UAF, or is this just an example of aircraft that Russia operates in its arsenal?

I've seen in the discussion below one of the blogs by "Cassad"
(I think it was this one:
- denials of a success of that attack
- information the airplanes and personnel come from the Proletariat of Donbass Flight School in Luhansk (wow! but closed in 1997) -- some debaters asked where are they from ...
