Ukraine's Armed Forces seized a Russian flagship tank in Sumy. It was intact and the flag of the Russian Federation was still hoisted over it. The tank was previously used in Russian military parades.

Quote: "The second "live" tank of the day was captured. [The Russian troops] simply abandoned it. The first one was blown up, but the second one was just thrown away...

"This is a kind of tank they show at military parades in Moscow. Straight from the parade! The first one was already damaged, and this one is completely intact." (The speaker refers to two Russian tanks attacked by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, one of which was destroyed, and another abandoned by the Russians intact - ed.)

Details: The tank has yellow ribbons on the sides and a Russian flag above it.

Background: A few days ago a parade uniform of the Russian military was found in Irpin near Kyiv. Apparently, the Russians were going to march in the center of the Ukrainian capital. This plan continues to fail.
