Opposite the Husky I can see Western tanks that had been transferred to the Ukrainian military. There’s an American Abrams which had been damaged on the battlefield. A German Leopard tank, too.
In fact, there’s a long line of German armour. And above it a sign: “History is repeating itself.”
In bright sunshine Russians are crowding round the military hardware, posing for photographs in front of tank gun barrels and, from the sounds of it, thoroughly enjoying the display.
“It’s incredible. Jaw-dropping,” says Natalya, who’s here with her husband and small daughter.
“It’s amazing to think that our guys managed to get these trophies.”
More than 30 armoured vehicles have been put on display.
