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.

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.
