In the first days of the war, Russian tanks were seen in social media footage traveling through Obolonskyi, just 5 miles from central Kyiv.
They were repelled. Now, the rusted tanks and armored vehicles sit defeated in the city's central Saint Michaels Square.
Pictures showed people looking at the tanks, taking photos alongside them and even climbing on top of one of them.
Yaroslav Trofimov, The Wall Street Journal's chief foreign-affairs correspondent, on Sunday tweeted pictures of people posing with the exhibited tanks. "On day 88 of the war, Russian tanks have finally entered Kyiv," he noted.
Following Russia's failed attempts to capture Ukraine, Moscow has shifted the focus of its war to the eastern separatist regions of Luhansk and Donetsk.
