A display of Russian military equipment destroyed during the Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine was organized for the Independence Day of Ukraine on Khreshchatyk, Kyiv’s central street.
This unique “parade” has become traditional in the second year of the ongoing large-scale war and is being prepared for the Independence Day celebrations. Traffic on Khreshchatyk Street is restricted until August 28, and for security reasons, any public events are banned in the capital.
Dozens of Russian army vehicles have been placed in the heart of the capital: tanks, self-propelled guns, armoured personnel carriers and vehicles (airborne combat vehicles), and the remains of missiles. This scrap metal was brought from Kyiv, Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv and other regions of Ukraine.
