Destroyed Russian equipment in Prague reminds of the horrors of the invasion of Ukraine
You can see, for example, a damaged T-90 tank, the Sturm anti-tank system, the Buk anti-aircraft system or some of the more than 3,000 rockets and missiles fired since the beginning of the Russian army’s invasion of Ukrainian cities.
“This Russian technique is from the Chernihiv region and also from the Kyiv region. Just yesterday she was a threat to Ukrainian freedom, and today she is here in Prague,” Ukrainian Interior Minister Denys Monastyrskyj said proudly.
“This exhibition is important to remind us that here we are also at war against Russia, because Russia is attacking not only Ukraine, but also Europe, the entire civilized world,” Prague Mayor Zdeněk Hřib told Novinkám. “And it is also a certain tribute to the Ukrainian army, because thanks to it we are not on the front line, we are in the background, but that does not mean that the war does not affect us,” he added.
In addition to Czech Minister of the Interior Vít Rakušan (STAN) and Prague Mayor Zdenek Hřib (Pirates), the European Commissioner for Internal Affairs Ylva Johansson was also present at the opening of the exhibition, who praised the solidarity of Czech society with Ukrainian refugees.
Ukrainian Minister of the Interior Denys Monastyrskyj also thanked for the help from the Czech Republic. Among those who came to see Letná at the opening of the exhibition, besides the Czech visitors, there were also dozens of Ukrainians.
Hundreds of people came to the exhibition.

“This exhibition is important for every Ukrainian citizen, the Ukrainian army. For more than 700 thousand Ukrainian men who are now in the army, it is important to see that the Europeans can see the technique and also the terrible things that the Russians are doing,” Monastyrskyj told Novinkám.
The exhibition at Prague’s Letná will last until July 24, before that Russian technology could be seen, for example, in Warsaw. It will then move to Berlin, Paris or Brussels.
