As Ukraine's independence day approaches, the Ukrainian military is publicly displaying the burnt-out husks of Russian military equipment.
Andrew Kravchenko/AP— Ukraine's military is lining the route with the burned-out husks of Russian military equipment.
"I think it's appropriate, if sad," Mykhailo Virchenko told NPR as he and his wife, Lubov, strolled past the installation on Sunday. Children played on the cannon barrels, while friends took selfies in front of armored personnel carriers."We hope that we can celebrate independence without weapons in the future. Maybe with flowers and dances instead," Lubov said.
Thousands of people walked along the way as more flat-bed trucks brought in their cargo. Children played on the cannon barrels, while friends took selfies in front of armored personnel carriers.
